And so you have played for 10 levels (ECL 14 character) and this is just now coming up?
Same with the dispel happy druid?
10 levels should be enough to get a handle on how things work. The DM should have BBEG who also use Dispel Magic and thus should have known those rules too.
That is unless there was a quantum leap in levels and not a gradual leveling up, which in itself can cause problems.
