This will be fun 

[Vacio]

I call dips on Pope and Abe!

[Twinwolf]

And now I go to sleep. G'night.

Also true, but most monsters also tend to have inherent weaknesses to stuff like silver, salt, running water, cold iron, holy water, fire and so on and so forth.

You forgot to mention how quick they are to resort to violence. Makes running false-flags and turning them against one another quite easy.

Also, regarding anti-magic...

that's mostly a blanket term. There are several kinds of antimagic.

There's magic dampening, which makes mana itself function less in the area around a person.

There's disjunction, which actually IS magic, and is basically just tearing apart spells as they form.

And there's Antimana, which..

Is not what they use.

Antimana is kinda... well, you know what antimatter is?

That.

Except for magic.

I'm thinking of dropping this game. I just don't feel I'm having as much fun as other people even when I try to set thing up for it.

STOP USING WORDS I DON'T UNDERSTAND ;-;
Hm. Antimana might be the best one to explain Sabrina's antimagic, simply because it IS specified she is completely unable to cast magic of her own.

No, it really wouldn't.

If she was using antimana, it would be less a problem of magic-users spells fizzling around her and more of them tapping into their mana and exploding violently

[IamanElfCollaborator]

*drools*
but it would be so fun
explosions
EXPLOSIONS

Ahem. So either antimana or some sort of very-extreme non-magical disjunction stuff, primarily because either one explains how Sabrina herself can't use magic. Ever.

She's a walking mana dampener.

Mana decays when it gets near her, turning into some other type of energy and dispersing.

I'll have a crack at it:

• A field of twisted reality around her that magic simply cannot exist in. As in, it's very concept ceases to exist.
  
• Continuous magical emissions. White-noise basically. Drowns out everyone's magic.
  
• Telepathic anomaly. Blocks out fucking everything by preventing people from being able to form the required thoughts.
  
• An event horizon of sorts. Whatever's required to power magic just gets sucked into her. So it can't escape, meaning she can't cast anything. But no one else in the area would be able to cast anything either because she's basically siphoned all the resources.
  
• Sheer stubbornness. Disbelieves magic so hard despite all evidence to the contrary that it simply gives up and stops working.

Telepathic anomalies, magical event horizons and sheer stubbornness wouldn't work, because she's established to not even have a telepathic presence, she can suppress her antimagic to allow others to work around her and she knows magic exists- she even lived with a Necromancer and had Yuri as a servant.

There's also the explanation that Magic is a phenomenon that is defined by being something that shouldn't exist, so she might just be emanating some sort of field that enforces reality.

Hell, that might be the actual source of their Edges Boons and their rituals just shape it into specific things

So she's basically a walking holocaust seeing as supernaturals shouldn't exist?
Oh and something ripped off from one of my own setting: self replicating spells. Sort of like how viruses and prions are just masses of chemicals that happen to hijack cells, forcing them to create more of them and thus proliferating them. Except in this case, it's a spell. She continuously emits spells that hijack whatever the hell people cast magic using, forcing them to continuously cast copies of themselves, thus rendering them unable to cast anything else.
