is there a way to make players unable to use their abilities until a trigger is tripped? Like be unable to cast spells until a certain point in a quest?

I have not tried it, but it seems possible. There are 2 functions that would allow to do it: RemoveAbility() and GetAbilityList().
The only problem if you remove abilities is how to recover them later (supposing you want to use it with the player's party). Here you could make a backup of the abilities using a dummy creature (there is an AddAbility() function too). Just before removing the abilities of a creature, add them to this dummy creature (you would need a dummy creature for each party member). When the trigger is activated, cycle through your backups to give back the removed abilities.

I would look into effects. I noticed the stun effect disables abilities when it is active. I would look deeper into it (and effects in general) to see if it yields any clues.
