Magical Skill Idea: Going Dim

The spell Avoid (mental college) is exactly that but area effect, I can see a regular version of it with little effort.

I was aware there was a spell that duplicated the effects, but I like the idea that magic powers are often more than just spells. Sometimes, getting very skilled at magic in general gives you access to things that are magical in effect without being spells.
This idea is really less about the effect and more about the way changing how it operates changes how you look at magic. It's obviously not something the game needs, but depending on how you want to approach magic and want your players to think of it, it's definitely an option.

And seems to be a very well written iteration of exactly what OP is looking for too! Plus, that's a really cool article. I've been vaguely toying with trying to come up with a system like that for a game I'm planning and I think I'm going to have to dig into that article. Thanks!

^_^ Welcome. It came from one of my campaigns and I decided it needed sharing.
