Version 0.26: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Abjuration is a monster-only spell which attempts to dispel all summoned creatures hostile to the caster in their line of sight. The affected monsters have their remaining duration drastically reduced; if this reduces their duration to zero or less, the monsters are unsummoned entirely.

No monsters actually know this spell. However, all monsters which know certain other Summoning spells have a 33% chance of Abjuring instead of casting these spells (this only occurs if you currently have any summoned allies):

In theory, this means that an ancient lich may spend a turn abjuring your summoned quokka rather than summoning fiends. In practice, deliberately summoning such chaff is unwise: the monster usually loses at most one turn, which is the same time you spent casting the spell, and it may lose no turns if one of its summons takes care of your distraction.
