Negate Magic

Even the strongest spellcaster trembles before 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, run.

Sometimes, the spell is simply called Negate.
