I liked how the version in Magic only applied a casting penalty equal to the MR to the target rather than completely removing their abilities. But that is harder to set up using advantages.

Personally, I prefer using Neutralize, Mana-Damper, and Static as the base advantage for anti-magic spells since these advantages are explicitly for power negation.

While I'm reluctant to do so, I might allow this build. Firstly, the target does get a chance to resist. Since the spell is targeting the sorcerer's abilities directly, I would use Rindis's suggestion of increasing the sorcerer's resistance. Secondly, unlike the above bases this method is vulnerable to being dispelled.
