<br/>
"Incompetence" is a lack of ability, without judgement, if this is the person to be the cause of the shortcoming, or his or her circumstances. <br/> For example, we could not blame ourselves for not having the competence to fly spacecraft, unless we would be astronauts on duty.

<br/>
Strong transitive connotations would come with the verb "to incapacitate": it is "to DEPRIVE of capacity or natural power."
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incapacitate<br...
However the term "incapacitation" occurs in legal uses, "administering or dosing madness" would be avoided. :)
