Description: This spell attempts to strip all magical effects from a single
target. It can also target a group of creatures, attempting to remove the
most powerful spell effect from each creature. To remove an effect, the
caster makes a dispel check of 1d20 +1 per caster level (to a maximum of
+10) against a DC of 11 12 + the spell effect's caster level.
Notes
- The in-game description of this spell erroneously reports that it is affected by spell resistance; dispel magic does not check spell resistance.
- The DC is incorrectly reported in-game; it is actually 12 + caster level, with some vagaries in the determination of the effective caster level. See dispel for details.
- Most of the spells of a level 19 caster are immune to dispel magic, as the dispeller's best possible roll is 30 (20+10), while the DC is 31 (12+19).
- This spell improves upon lesser dispel and is improved by greater dispelling.
