"Anti" could also mean that it hurts. Only "Null Magic" or "Dead Magic" might require actually suppressing anything.Antimagic Zone: Variant A)- Any creature using an encounter or daily power in this zone is subject to a attack X vs Will. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 damage and is dazed until the end of its next turn.Variant B) A character in this zone cannot use encounter or daily attack powers.Variant C) Any ritual performed in this zone automatically fails, and magic item properties and powers do not work.Anti-Magic zone mostly exist because magic is a very powerful tool that can wreck a lot of things. But in 4E, this is not true for "normal" powers. They are just part of a typical characters repertoire. There is little reason to restrict access to powers from just one source. Rituals, on the other hand, can provide powerful effects -they don't kill anyone, but teleporting, scrying and similar things are stuff that you might not want in an area protected by antimagic zones. A further take might be to just make an Anti-Magic zone deactivate powers of one power source, but allow a skill challenge to penetrate the zone and use powers normally.</blockquote>
