A spell or prayer of cancellation removes the spell effects from the target. You can cancel spells on yourself, an ally, or any player who doesn't have settings nocancel enabled.

Unlike dispel affects, cancellation is much more effective and is not considered an aggressive action. The chance of successfully dispelling magic and prayers depends on your own spell level and the level of the spell you are cancelling, and the outcome is never certain. Your own curses on an enemy, like sleep, are harder to remove than someone else's. The longer a spell effect lasts on the target, the easier it is to cancel. Fresh buffs are harder to remove. And permanent spells, such as sanctuary protection on a mob, are the hardest to remove.

Cancellation and dispel spells do not distinguish between "good" and "bad" effects on the target and cancel almost everything. However, not all effects can be cancelled or dispelled: for example, poison or plague.
