Effect: When this spell is CAST, all magic and/or magical items
within the radius of the spell, except those on the person of
or being touched by the spell caster, are disjoined.

That is, spells being
CAST are separated into their individual components (usually spoiling
the effect as does a [dispel magic]), and permanent and magicked
items must likewise save (vs. Spell  if actully CAST on a creature, or <v>
vs. a [dispel magic] otherwise) or be turned into normal items. Even <v>
artifacts & relics are subject to Mordenkainen's Disjunction, although <v> <l>
there is only a 1% chance per level of the spell caster of actually
affecting such powerful items. Thus, all potions, scrolls, rings, <l>
rods, et al, miscellaneous magic items, artifacts & relics, arms and <l>
armor, swords and miscellaneous weapons within 3" of the spell
caster can possibly lose all their magical properties when Mordenkainen's Disjunction is CAST.

Note: Destroying artifacts is a dangerous business, and 95% likely to
attract the attention of some powerful being who has an interest or
connection with the device. Additionally, if an artifact is destroyed, the
casting MU must save vs. Spell at -4 or permanently lose
all spell casting abilities. <v>

<the above should be noted at the main artifact entry in the DMG>
 

Q: When a Mordenkainen?s disjunction
spell is cast, how do you determine
the effects on magical items?
Will an anti-magic shell or wall of
force keep the effects of the disjunction
out? What if only part of a
spell?s area of effect overlaps the
area of the disjunction?
A: Items in the possession of the spellcaster
are immune to the spell's effects.
Items in the possession of other creatures
gain their possessors? saving throws vs.
spells, with all adjustments. Items that are
by themselves can be disjoined using the
dispel magic spell?s system (comparing the
caster?s level vs. the level at which the
magical item was created). Potions and
scrolls are treated as if created by 8thlevel
magic-users; permanent magical
items are treated as if created by 12thlevel
magic-users.
If any portion of a spell?s area of effect
overlaps the area of the disjunction, the
entire spell is disjoined. A wall of force can
be so disjoined, and it will have no effect
on the disjunction spell. Treat the chance
for disjoining an anti-magic shell as that
for an artifact, but with no chance for
attracting the attention of a powerful
being (see Unearthed Arcana, page 65). If
an anti-magic shell is unaffected, it protects
all magic within its area; if the antimagic
shell is disjoined, all magical spells,
effects, and items within the area of the
disjunction are subject to its effects.
