Dispel Calls
The dispel magic call represents focused anti-magic that can be used to disrupt all of the magical effects on a target. When a target is hit by the dispel call, all non-permanent magical effects currently active are said to have been "dispelled". This means that they end immediately. Any spell cast on you with a duration longer than instant creates a magical effect until the duration runs out.
Items such as dilution solution create the dispel alchemy call which removes all effects from alchemical compounds on the target, other than poisons.
Tinkering items hit by a dispel magic call, have any active abilities turned off and the item’s magic is suppressed for 10 minutes. The affected item(s) must be “turned on” again to work. Please note that this effect does not apply to ornamented or weaponsmithed items, only tinkering items.
It is possible to target a magical field (spells that affect an area instead of single person or object) with a dispel effect. Magical fields include effects like sanctuary or sanctify. To do so simply requires the dispeller to hit the specific object protected (such as a building protected by Sanctify?) by the field or the ground inside the field’s area of effect. Magical fields are always separate from the caster who created them, defenses their caster might personally have active are irrelevant to preventing the area effect from being dispelled in this way.
Once effects are dispelled, they may be reapplied at any time assuming the target has the means to do so.
It is possible for this call to affect other scenario specific magic, but a game master will deal with these situations on a case-by-case basis. As a rule of thumb, dispel affects only creatures and their spells.
A caster can voluntarily dispel a spell they have cast at any time by touching the spell's target. If the target is conscious and unwilling to have the effect dispelled then they may not be dispelled this way. If the caster of a spell dies, spells they have cast continue functioning as normal.
The dispel magic call never inflicts damage.
Unless modified by another call (such as poison) dispel magic is a spell effect.
