Hi all!
I was checking the description of the break enchantment spell, and I found something strange.
First it says (from the PHB):
So long, so good. That's basically what break enchantment is for. But then it goes on in the next paragraph:
Flesh to stone is a spell, which can't be dispelled by dispel magic, since it's duration is instantaneous, and it is a 6th level sorceror/wizard spell, so according to the previous quote it shouldn't be affected by break enchantment, but the description of it lists it as an example of a spell it can counter.
I'm confused. Is there some errata for this? I checked the PHB errata I have on my computer, it didn't adress this problem. Note that the SRD doesn't contain flesh to stone as an example in the first quoted sentence, but other, similar parts of the original spell description are also missing, so I don't think that flesh to stone was delibaretly left out because someone realized a mistake had been made.

First it says (from the PHB):
Break enchantment can reverse even an instantaneous effect, such as flesh to stone.

If the spell is one that cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, break enchantment works only if that spell is 5th level or lower.
