Pathfinder 1E Spell to force shapechanger to revert to natural form?

First Post
Is there a spell in PF that, when cast, makes a creature/character/NPC/etc revert to their natural form when they're using a polymorph or like spell to change their appearance/type/etc?

In other words, is there a spell that can make a Dragon who has shapechanged into an Elf reveal its true form by breaking the transmutation spell it cast on itself?

Thanks!

Other than Dispel Magic, Greater Dispel Magic, Anti-magic shell, and Mage's Disjunction?

Yes. It's called Reveal True Shape though it doesn't break the transmutation -- it uses illusion to show the true form in addition.
 

Subtle issue here - a shapechanger has the supernatural or spell-like ability to take different shapes.

A dragon, on the other hand, is a spellcaster, not a shapechanger. Nagol mentions the solutions to turning a spellcaster back into his natural shape.

I'm not finding a return-to-shape spell, but what you're asking for is on par with Baleful Polymorph, since you're trying to shapechange an enemy. Turning a shapechanger into its natural form shouldn't be harder than turning it into a newt. Making it stay there is a different story...
