You most probably bumped into an
Elder Orb.
Never, never,
NEVER let an Elder Orb come next to you, they will cast
Imprisonment and your character will vanish.
Get a ranged attacker to fight them, keeping a safe distance away from them.
Alternatively, you could get a Mage with Spell Immunity( Abjuration) to tank them, but they cast high-level Remove Magic and the like, so that is not really effective.
You can also Web them and shoot them to death.
Oh... you could also lay a trap ambush and lure them to said trap ambush.
Just to let you know, Imprisonment ignores Magic Resistance.

If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Paladin meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a bard and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".
