Your fundamental insight into the workings of magical dweomers allow you to tear them apart with unsurpassed proficiency.
This spell comes in two versions, an Area version and a Targeted version.
Area: All magical effects within the radius of the spell, except for those affecting you, are disjoined. That is, spells and spell-like effects are separated into their individual components (ending the effect, as if dispelled).
Target: The targeted version of the spell targets one magical item or Antimagic Field. A disjoined Antimagic Field instantly ends. A disjoined magic item must make a successful Will save or be turned into a normal item. An item in a creature’s possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor’s Will save bonus, whichever is higher.
Even artifacts are subject to this focused version of disjunction, though there is only a 1% chance per caster level of actually affecting such powerful items. Additionally, if an artifact is destroyed, you must make a DC 25 Will save or permanently lose all spellcasting abilities. (These abilities cannot be recovered by mortal magic, not even Miracle or Wish.)
Note: Destroying artifacts is a dangerous business, and it is 95% likely to attract the attention of some powerful being who has an interest in or connection with the device.
