Description

Dispel is a tricky spell to use effectively. You want to be sure the target has no high level defensive Aegis spells protecting them before you use it offensively. This is best done by using a cheap effective multiple tag bag spell like disengage to strip off Aura of Reflection charges.

Against your average opponent who doesn't have such defenses you can safely cast dispel directly.

Dispel is also useful for ending Sanctuaries simply by targeting the ground of the sanctuary.

Finally Dispel can be used on allies to remove long lasting harmful magic (like Pin, Enfeeble or Terror). Be careful when doing this though, you'll be removing all their beneficial magic at the same time.

Effect

Creates two tag bags that call for 'Dispel Magic'. Alternately this spell may be delivered by touch to helpless or willing targets.

Detailed Interactions

Anti-Magic Shield does not stop Dispel.

Aura of Reflection does not create tag bags when hit by dispel, it only consumes one charge of the Aura.

Anti-Magic Aura prevents Dispel Magic completely.
