Similar Effects
- pulsed field magnets are notable for their Magnetic Pulse ability, which strips items from players' and other creatures' inventory. However, this effect cannot truly disarm the target, since it does not affect equipped items.
- qudzu can rust players' or other creatures' equipped items on hit, which causes those items to gain the rusted status and be forcefully unequipped (but not dropped).
