The origin of the spell is still unknown, but it is said that it was found accidentally by a magic student who was killed by a powerful wizard a few days later. That wizard is said to have been his teacher. The distinction of this spell is that only a small number of wizards has heard of or used it. It is said that it travels from one wizard to another with a spellbook with a cost of the death of the last wizard carrying it.
When the spell is cast, a bright grey light occurs on the wizard's finger. As the wizard points the target, a grey aura covers the victim but gives no harm. The victim is unaware of this, but every round the spell sucks the enchantments from every item carried, including swords, armour, cloaks, potions, rings, staves, wands or anything else that is magical. Items that do not have bonuses in the form of plusses or percentages immediately become useless, until the spell ends. The ones having bonuses lose one point each round. For example, Ayala has a broad sword, +4. When he is under the spell's effect, the sword is +4 in the first round, +3 in the second round, +2 in the third round, +1 in the fourth round, and an ordinary broad sword after that, until the spell's duration expires.
The enchantments never go negative and negative ones stay the same. At the instant the spell expires, the bonuses return by one point per round. Items having an ego are allowed to save versus spell, but they suffer a -1 penalty for every two levels of the caster. Other items are not allowed to save. Also, there is a 20% chance that a wizard will fail casting a spell when surrounded by the aura, even if he is casting dispel magic. By the way, dispel magic negates the effects. The material component of this spell is an ornate fan, worth at least 10 gp.
