It is a very specific set of features and as with the issues of the 3.5 ranger, it requires the DM to play according to your character. It makes your character entirely focused on solving a very narrow set of problems, which is why the mage slayer feat was made so powerful, with only that in 5e your character feels like a mage slayer, without the need for an entire class or archetype.What I think would work though is trying to find another set of things that could work well together with this type of feature, making the concept of the archetype a little more general. When making a character that has a narrow use feature in battle (for example do x when fighting big creatures), I find it a good idea to give a mirror feature that lets the character fight with equal power in the other situation (for example do y when fighting big creatures), making them have a different playstyle depending on the situation, and not strong in situation but weak in another. Differences between characters should be more about "team role" and less about "where to shine".That said, a spellbreaker has an iron will, a very strong mind for a barbarian and enough courage to go against reality bending creatures straight ahead. As a proper mirror feature, it could be really good at frightening and goading many non-magical creatures, taking advantage of their weaker will power. Or maybe it might be a "commander" type of barbarian for example. A spellbreaker also focuses on bringing magical things back to being mundane, it might be able to treat enormous creatures as if they were smaller, and maybe make any magical creature weaker just with their presence, even those creatures with technically no magic features, like wyverns for example.Anyway, don't get me wrong, I wrote all of this because I think your archetype is pretty good and I just wanted to give some advice!</blockquote>
