Right, so maybe create a spell with a basic and improved level: Basic - if you are hit with the spell and you have the ability to use magic you lose it while it's active. Improved - you can use magic and the spell's resistance normally.

Seeing as they get to resist it I don't see an issue. Yeah, they lose magic, but they get a bonus vs. hostile magic. That seems like a useful tradeoff.

That seems unnecessarily complex to me.
