Esoteric Aegis — Epic Spell
Esoteric Aegis is a third-party epic abjuration from the Dicefreaks Grimoire of Cosmic Entities Volume One. It creates a defensive aura around the caster that makes nearby magic exceptionally difficult to dispel or disjoin.

Effect
A shimmering 10-foot aura surrounds the caster. Spells and magical effects inside it gain a +10 increase to the DC required to dispel them.
If the aegis itself is successfully dispelled, its tenacious quality suppresses it for 1d4 rounds rather than removing it permanently under the source rules.
An area dispel that fails against the aegis does not continue downward to check lesser spells inside the protected area. Legacy Mage’s Disjunction is specifically warded against.
Edition Status
This is third-party 3.x epic material. The Mage’s Disjunction interaction applies to the legacy spell; modern D&D has no direct official Mage’s Disjunction equivalent.
