It may work like a clerics cure poison. From what I have seen poison comes in
three levels, and if a cleric uses his lowest level curing spell, he may have
to cast it several times before the poison is removed. Here is my suggestion.
Go to the Steamfont Mts and have Meldreth charm your buddy again. Then cast
cancel magic 4 or 5 times and see if it removes the effect. Well okay your
buddy probably won't go for it, but give it a shot the next time its necessary

Till Tomorrow
