The Sanctic power. It's a malediction. Can it be stacked on one unit from multiple casters?

There is no written rule which says you can't stack banishment (or any other malediction) multiple times. It's only written that blessings can't provide the same bonus twice as far as I can tell.

However, in most cases stacking multiple instances of banishment doesn't do anything because a deamon save is 5+ in most instances and Banishment can't make the save worse than a 6+.

In general, you cannot stack the same special rule with itself.

psychic powers are not special rules, some psychic powers grant special rules however.

combat. Note that bonuses and penalties from different maledictions are always cumulative, but cannot, unless otherwise stated, take characteristics above 10 or below 1 (or below 2, in the case of Leadership).

if banishment is not different than banishment, then it is always cumulative.

in other words due to wording for maledictions, there is specific permission for different maledictions to be cumulative.

there is no specific RAW wording that the same maledictions are not.

Many people play the game that because it calls out that different ones are cumulative, same ones are not. As otherwise there is no reason at all to state that different maledictions are cumulative, because it is already stated before that section that

Unless otherwise stated, the effects of multiple different psychic powers are cumulative.

that of course is a HYWPI answer, and is in line with how many tournaments play it but is not a RAW answer, due to lack of specific RAW stating that.
