Magic/Spells/Dispel Magic

Keywords: Transmutation

Prerequisites: Earth (Water-Anima) Affinity; BCB 3rd

Target: (see description)

Duration: instantaneous

Range: Close

Action: 4 AP

Saving Throw: none

Spell Resistance: no

Description: You may spend one spell point to attempt to end an ongoing spell that has been cast on a creature or object. Make a dispel check (1d20+SPB); you may target a specific effect if you have identified it, otherwise the effect with the highest BCB on the target is automatically targeted. Compare your dispel result against the spell (1d20 + the SPB of the spell). If successful, that spell ends. If not, compare that same result to the spell with the next highest BCB, repeating until you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have failed to dispel every spell. Use the same d20 roll for each spell effect you compare against rather than rerolling each time.

If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a creature summoned by summon companion) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object. You may also target a single spell affecting an area such as grasping vines or black tentacles to attempt to end the effect.

Area Dispel
Prerequisite: Dispel Magic, BCB 10th

Target: 20 foot radius.

Keywords: Shaped

Benefit: You may spend an additional spell point to target each creature in an area. You roll one dispel check and apply it to each creature within the area. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel even if you possess the suppress magic device talent.

Special: The default area of this spell is a 20 foot radius; but you may apply a shape talent to this spell to change the area of this spell.

Counterspell
Prerequisite: Dispel Magic

Benefit: You may ready your dispel magic to counter a spell being cast by another spellcaster. When readying an action with this spell the base AP cost is reduced to 3 AP. Roll your dispel check against the spellcaster, with the spellcaster also rolling (1d20 + the caster’s SPB). If successful the spell is countered and the caster fails to cast their spell.

Counterspell, Greater
Prerequisite: Counterspell, Dispel Magic, BCB 8th

Benefit: You may spend an additional spellpoint to use your counterspell as an reaction rather than a readied action once per round.

Suppress Magic Device
Prerequisite: Dispel Magic

Benefit: You may make a dispel magic attempt against a magic item. When doing so make a dispel check against the SPB of the item; if successful the item is suppressed and ceases functioning for 1d4 rounds + 1 additional round per degree of success.
