Negate Magic

Negate Magic is a spell used to deny the usage of magic.

Spell Description
Even the strongest spellcaster trembles before the power of this spell. All the pride, all the hubris is gone as soon as Negate Magic is spoken, as it stops the working of all magic in the area for a limited amount of time. Magical creatures like liches and gazers are practically crippled, while enemy spellcasters can only do the wise thing, and run away. As a drawback, this often also negates the magic of the caster's party, however.

Sometimes, the spell is simply called Negate.

Trivia

 * Negate Magic does not affect the use of magical armaments, including the Magician's Wand.
 * The Crown of Lord British creates the same effect as this spell, but with no time limit.
 * The Storm Cloak also negates magic, but only has a limited number of uses.
 * There are certain areas in Ultima VII where a negate-like effect is active. These can be recognized by a glittering dust in the air.
