[QUOTE="ninjajester, post: 206777, member: 1387"] perhaps a diluted form of the poison could be introduced into the water supply for a region. it wouldn't be enough to kill healthy adults, but it could cause a slight sickness and nausea, and the anti magic effects could be such that magic becomes unreliable; sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and and sometimes it works at half or even quarter strength. this could be a precursor to a mass invasion by some type of race that doesn't use magic. what about having an alchemist get hold of the poison and alter it so that anyone who drinks it gains magic resistance or magic immunity or even an anti magic touch ability. think of a cadre of elite assassins with the ability to negate any magic effect by touching whatever physical object the effect is tied to. the poison could also be used to systematically kill off certain species of magical creatures. this might be a stretch, but maybe certain creatures (treants, basilisks, faeries) require magic to live, and when the magic is gone, they either devolve to a less advanced state or die. if they die, this could be used to seriously disrupt the ecosystem, or introduce dangerous new predators to an area. how would the anti magic poison affect creatures that have been petrified? maybe a very powerful adversary was petrified long ago in order to stop it's ravages. maybe it was petrified because it was impossible to kill, or because attacking it with weapons only made it stronger, or caused it to multiply. it would be very bad if this uber powerful creature who was petrified hundreds of years ago was un stoned, so to speak. maybe no one remembers the creature anymore, so no one knows how to defeat it or even what it can do. hmm. didn't mean to ramble. just brainstorming. i think you've got an idea with tremendous potential here.
