Sussur Bark and Flowers. Completely shuts off magic. You're a sorcerer, and you are seriously effected by this because you've had this wellspring of magic in you your whole life. There is even a cutscene for it making a big deal out of how you can no longer sense magic at all. It's totally messing with you.

So what's the explanation for the Sharran/Netherese Shadow Magic? This I can't explain. If it is a total antimagic force field around you, shutting down all magic, your tadpole should suddenly be free to munch your brain and turn you into a mind flayer. The Netherese Magic would be shut off too which was keeping it in stasis. Therefore, you should feel it suddenly spring to life and start to work on your brain and conscious mind.

But no. Taddy is completely unaffected by antimagic, just like everything else. MAN! That's one powerful tadpole. Even antimagic has no effect on it.

The true resurrection spell Gale has and his ability to literally devour POWERFUL magic ended any chance of my brain doing mental gymnastics to immerse myself into BG3. At this point you would need to be the mental olympics decathlon gold medal winner just to forget about the plot inconsistencies never mind the black hole of lore abominations and we aren't out of act 1. Now enter the superpowerflower......Whahahaha

Technically it is magic that the tadpole uses to turn people into mindflayers so if you sucked the magic from one it would simply die or dissapear. Job done right? Narrr The flowers would quite literally kill the tadpole if it indeed has the power to remove an innate casters magic like a sorcerer.
