Well, since we're reaching... Maybe Doug gets the occasional "reaction" which shorts out his power ability? He still has his personal probability field, and whatever additional metahuman gifts he has, but his magic field just peters out for a while?
Or another possibility. Maybe he just winds up somewhere where the magic is already user-locked. (To the RHPS people in this case), and until he finds a way around the security, he can't actually *use* any of it. And unless he has truly colossal personal power reserves, he'd have a hard time powering his usual list of gifts on Journeyman-level power alone.
