[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 7002989, member: 80982"] I'm a little confused by your use of [I]Dispel Magic[/I]. [I]Dispel Magic[/I] takes a full action to cast. It could be cast as a standard action or even a bonus action. RAW PHB 202 points out that even with a bonus action spell being cast, you can not cast two spells requiring 1 action time to cast in the same turn, even with a bonus action. However, spells requiring only a reaction to cast, can be cast in addition to a spell taking 1 action time. Also, each character only gets one reaction in a turn. IF you meant to say they both cast [I]Counter Spell[/I], then yes, your enemy caster can cast both his spells (Original Spell and the Counter Spell). And it appears that your player confused the restriction on bonus spell casting as a general rule about two spells being cast in the same turn. If you did mean [I]Dispel Magic[/I], which I doubt, then the 1st player could not have cast it unless he had a feature that allowed him to spend an action as a reaction AND he had not already cast a spell that turn. And your player would be correct that the enemy caster could not have cast the second spell. [/QUOTE]
