Ability Suppressor
(Alteration)

Range:  10 yards per level
Components:  V, S
Duration:  1d4 rounds + 1 round per level
Casting Time:  5
Area of Effect:  One creature or object
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell can suppress an ability of any creature or object. For example, the regenerating power of a troll, breath weapon of a dragon, petrifying gaze of a medusa, or level draining ability of a spectre can be suppressed if the creature fails its saving throw. The spell can also be cast on an object to remove one of its powers, such as the sharpness ability of a sword of sharpness or the wall of fire power of a wand of fire. An object in the possession of a creature gains that creature's saving throw; other objects must save versus disintegration to avoid the spell.
The ability or power to be suppressed must be known in some detail. For example, the wizard could suppress the fiery breath weapon of a dragon, as long as the breath weapon was in some way fiery or fire based. Purely natural effects, such as normal damage from a sword, cannot be suppressed.
