If they succeed, the effect is not dispelled.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> If the Will save fails, the the chosen effect is dispelled.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> For every point by which the save fails to beat the DC, one spell level of additional effects are dispelled. (For magical effects with no spell level, use half the caster level of the effect in place of spell level). More powerful effects are dispelled first. If multiple effects have the same level, the target of the dispel may choose which are dispelled first.</li> </ol>For an area dispell, simply follow the above procedure for every character caught in the area. However, the caster of the dispell may not choose a specific effect that is automatically dispelled if the Will save fails.If you target a magic item, it makes its own Will save. Ongoing spell effects and objects affected by ongoing spell effects save as a caster with the minimum level and ability score required to cast the spell.The 3rd level Dispell Magic works against spells of 4th level or magical effects of caster level 8 or lower. Greater Dispell Magic works against any non-epic spell or magical effect.Example: You, a fire mage, are fighting a magical battle against a Fey Enchantress. You know that she has warded herself with a Protection from Energy (fire), and suspect that she has other magical defenses -- in fact, she's got a Telepathic Bond, a Greater Mage Armor, a Fly, a Cat's Grace, and a Protection from Good going.You hit her with a Dispell Magic. You choose the Protection from Energy (fire) as the first to go. She makes her save, and fails by 5. The Protection from Energy vanishes, as do five more levels of spells.The Telpathic Bond would be the first to go, but Dispell Magic can't touch 5th level effects, so it stays. Tied for the next most powerful are Greater Mage Armor and Fly; she chooses to lose the Greater Mage Armor. That leaves two more levels of spells, enough to wipe out her Cat's Grace.</blockquote>
