Leaving magic pen to be repaired by daughter (9)

I believe the answer is:

decamping

'leaving' is the definition.
(decamping is a kind of leaving)

'magic pen to be repaired by daughter' is the wordplay.
'to be repaired' indicates an anagram.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'magic'+'pen'='magicpen'
'magicpen' is an anagram of 'ecamping'.
'ecamping' after 'd' is 'DECAMPING'.

(Another definition for decamping that I've seen is " suddenly going away".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
