  In this Letter we discuss a few issues concerning the magnetic susceptibility
of the quark condensate and the Son-Yamamoto (SY) anomaly matching equation. It
is shown that the SY relation in the IR implies a nontrivial interplay between
the kinetic and WZW terms in the chiral Lagrangian. It is also demonstrated
that in a holographic framework an external magnetic field triggers mixing
between scalar and tensor fields. Accounting for this, one may calculate the
magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate to all orders in the magnetic
field.
