Even if fly is dispellable it is a) no guarantuee that the dispel magic will take the fly away and b) the BBEG has to use one round out of the average 5 rounds for a combat for dispel magic with the side effect of dealing ~3d6 damage in falling damage to the mage, an action with very high opportunity cost. The worst problem with fly is that it totally hamstrings some opponents in a way that no other 3rd level spells do.Teleport is even worse. I think teleporting circle is OK, as is other forms of teleport that takes the caster to a destination prepared in advance. But to be able to scry a place and teleport there makes it possible to decapitate almost any organization far too easy. After the attack on the BBEG you can always teleport back and prepare for another offensive.</blockquote>
