In the RDM questline...

RDM level 70 quest spoiler
It becomes apparent to the girl you rescued that she was inflicted by Lilith's blood, a supposed queen of the void "Lilith" that was the reason her powers were boosted so high to cast such powerful spells. She casts a strong fireball early on without even trying as if she was a natural only to discover this. Later on they prevent her from using anymore of this magic to prevent the lust to steal aether from living beings and stop the hunger the curse causes. After the quest says they must defeat Lilith to cease her curse on the girl, they mention how her abilities won't be quite what they were when she started becoming a red mage. This leads her to have to start from the basics of thaumaturgy and conjury to balance out since she no longer has that easy mile ahead step of having cursed blood to make powerful attacks. I'm unclear if this meant she lost all her abilities she knew because her essential battery for this stuff was cut off... Or if it just meant she had to learn naturally now how to truly control her aether. Either way, it seems to imply she had good power with her bloodline, then she had to start over to get good at using red magic again.

Something similar to that effect could be used for a "temporary" infliction rather than it being a permanent aetherflow disruption or something. If you wanted a reason for a character to know how to cast spells easily and then have them be unable to for a time. Comes down to if you want it to be handled upon your character's sake of actual ability to control aether... Or if you want it to be a third party reason that forces them to give it up for be unable to temporarily or permanently.
