Notes:

  1. Dispel Magic is a Counterspell.
  2. It Dispels Magic Using effects (including effects of Spells, unused Potions, effects of Potions and effects of Magic Items, but excluding the properties of Magic Items and the effects of Powers) on a single Target Being or Object, or (if Cast with a Radius) on all Beings and Objects within Radius.  Note that it is therefore inadvisable to Cast it on oneself whilst carrying unused Potions.
  3. If a Spell is being Cast or is resolving during any second of the Casting time of Dispel Magic, then the Target Beings and Objects receive Counterspell Protection against the effects of that Target Spell until the resolution of Dispel Magic.  The resolution of the effects of that Target Spell against the Target Beings and Objects is therefore delayed until the resolution of Dispel Magic.  If the Target Spell is then Dispelled, it has no effects on the Target Beings and Objects.
  4. Dispel Magic separately Targets all Spells whose effects are applicable to the Target Beings and Objects.  Make a separate calculation and %age roll for each such Spell.  The order to be Dispelled may be specified as variable parameter n.  Otherwise (or after the n Spells and effects so specified), select the first to be Dispelled randomly (unless there is an incoming Spell about to resolve as per 3. above, in which case it is selected - if there are multiple such Spells they are Dispelled in the order they started to be Cast before any pre-existing effects are Dispelled).  The T of Dispel Magic is halved for the calculation of % chance of success against each Target Spell after the first (e.g. it is halved twice against the 3rd Target Spell).
  5. For purposes of Dispelling them, Potions have the Minimum Throw required by their respective Recipes, and are of the Magic-Using Discipline and SL of the Spell required.  Non-Magical Alchemical Items are not affected by Dispel Magic.
  6. See also the FAQ.
  7. Dispel Magic is also available as a Level 4 Spell with an extendable Protection Period of p sec for -p(p-1)/2.  This can potentially target for Dispelling any Spells or effects applicable to the Target Beings and Objects during the extended Protection Period.
