Got it! There's already a spirit spell "Visibility", so...

Edibility (4 points, ranged, temporal)
Renders the target spirit vulnerable to being eaten. Bite damage is inflicted directly to the spirit's magic points, and when it reaches 0, it is banished to the spirit plane. Because many spirits can move very quickly, further means may be necessary to keep it in one place. A spirit which is engaged in spirit combat could be bitten by a number of attackers before it could disengage, for instance.
