D&D spell illustration challenge, day 44 (30 day late): Dispel Magic
When you're bullied at wizard school by pupil True Polymorphed as a gold dragon, you only need to cast Dispel Magic (DC19).
Prompt: A dramatic, symbolic fantasy scene high above the clouds. One young apprentice floats on a small, glowing cloud—his robes billow from the magical recoil of a spell just cast. His hand is still raised, fingers outstretched, glowing with residual magic. Opposite him, a second apprentice is caught mid-fall, tumbling backward through the sky, arms flailing, eyes wide—not injured, but falling. Around the falling figure hover dozens of mirror shards, suspended mid-air. In each shard is a fragmented reflections of a golden dragon—an eye, a wing, a claw—glinting in the light. The lighting is surreal: golden sun above, stormlight below. The mood blends awe, revelation, and tragedy.
Commentary: Seriously, removing all spell effect for a 3rd level slot, provided you beat DC = 10+spell level? That's rolls between 14 and 19 at what would reasonably be d20+9 (at 5th level). Due to most interesting spells having Concentration, and many foes using spell-like abilities and not spells, though, it is possibly useless, depending on GM.
