I'll try to create the version I had in mind:Weave BubbleDispel Magic 5/Gen 3Total MP: 8Area of Effect: 10-ft radius, centered on casterDuration: 1 minuteYou make using magic within the area of effect very difficult for everyone but up to 8 creatures  within the area at the time of casting. The area has a Spell Resistance of 10 + 5 + number of ranks in Dispel Magic. Creatures not specifically exempted from the bubble must make a caster level check to cast a spell or use a spell like ability or have that magic countered. Whenever a spell or effect enters the area, or its effect passes through the antimagic area, it controller makes a caster level check against the SR (magic items and permanent spells take 10).Creatures who can see the Weave will notice that the area is a bubble that contains few tendrils of mana. Those tendrils present are either very tenuous or are connected to the creatures who are exempted from the effects. Costs: 5 MP antimagic, 1 MP discerning, 2 MP area.I take it from your comments in the previous post that Discerning can only choose who a spell effects, not choose who a spell does not effect. If that is the case, the spell would have to be changed so that it only effected up to 8 creatures at the time of casting and serve as a block to casting for them for the duration (using sticky discern). It would have the effect of forcing affected creatures to beat the SR to cast for the duration. That is assuming you can use the sticky enhancement for Dispel. The problem with either of these two approaches is that they both seem very powerful. Even the example in the book of Ursus casting antimagic on Barbara seems to be very powerful. Wouldn't this cause all mages to start any combat off by slinging antimagic areas around immediately? I guess the only way to balance this is to make is non-discernable. Someone is free to create an anti-magic zone, they just have to beat the DC like everyone else.</blockquote>
