Yes like Proteus. But unlike Magneto, Vulcan would feel a lot more at home against Proteus. Mags was shown to be able to shield himself against Proteus energy form for a very short period of time because it was close enough to the EM spectrum and was shown to only slightly change Proteus's energy matrix making it too unstable to remain in Blindfold thus he had no host and dissipated. Psylockes psi-knife also managed to drive him out of the others. Truth be told the X-Men only survived that because Proteus did not want them dead he wanted to possess all of them and because Proteus weakened himself by possessing multiple hosts.
Vulcan was shown to manipulate some weird ass "spiritual energy" in Kingbreaker I've never seen Magneto manipulate something similar to that before. Vulcans has a much broader range then Magneto.

What would you say Phoenix's life energy is made out of?
The Phoenix Force is a psionic entity. Psionic energy probably. Psionic energy is equated to life energy in X-Men comics. It's how Exodus feeds.
Depending on the writer EM energy and psionic energy are close enough.
It's how some writers have Magneto shield himself from telepathy.
Also Magneto once put Hulk, Xavier etc..in a EM prison. Xavier messed it up by using his telepathy to interfere with the EM energy.
