I actually thought the term was apt. If someone is “under the spell” of bad ideas, you need to “break the spell” somehow before they can think clearly again. This usage is not without precedent. A particular kind of spell needs a particular kind of Counterspell to break it. It’s an antidote, not a panacea, so the D&D conception fits the concept better than the MtG version.
