Sap Magic is a monsters-only spell. Against players, it inflicts the Sap status for 20-30 turns.[1] When you have this status, successfully casting any spell gives you the -Cast status for 3-5 turns.[2] Getting hit by Sap Magic multiple times will extend its duration (max. 50 turns). You can cure both Sap and -Cast with a potion of cancellation.
Monsters with wizardly spells can be affected by Sap Magic too. They receive an antimagic penalty, which could make them falter when they try to cast spells.
