It does far more.  Here's the word from the RVM:

* C_a_n_c_e_l_l_a_t_i_o_n_:  cancels a monster's magic powers.  For instance, it will
* prevent an umber hulk from confusing you with its gaze.  Works on ants,
* dragons, eyes, fungi, invisible stalkers, leprechauns, nymphs, rust
* monsters, umber hulks, and wraiths (but not mimics).

If you use 5.3, the list is: aquators, dragons, ice monsters, leprechauns,
medusas, nymphs, phantoms, rattlesnakes, venus' fly-traps, and wraiths
(but not xerocs).
