You are just taking one sentence out of the half page description and ignoring the rest. In its entire context, it states that you can dispel a single ongoing spell among a myriad of ongoing spells because it states you can target a spell. If it meant that it could not dispel one amongst many, it would have clearly stated that it could not.Directly from the spell:“One object, creature, or spell is the target of the spell.”Ok, I choose the Fire Shield spell on Barney.That is one spell. That is the spell that is the target of the Dispel Magic spell. Barney is not the target of the spell, the Fire Shield spell is the targetJust because you CAN choose to target Barney and possibly dispel multiple spells on him does NOT mean that you MUST do it that way.You can interpret it that way, but that is not what is stated. You are allowed to target a spell, a creature, or an object. There are no restrictions in the spell at all about which spell, which creature, or which object.If you declare the target of the spell to be a spell, guess what? The target of the spell is not a creature or an object.If you declare that you are casting an Area Effect Dispel, guess what? It is not a Targeted Dispel.As a caster, you can choose any option allowed by the spell. You have 3 choices with regard to Targeted Dispels:1) Spell2) Creature3) ObjectNowhere in the Dispel Magic spell description does it state that if you want to dispel a spell that happens to be residing on a creature or happens to be residing on an object, that you MUST pick option #2 or #3 respectively. That is a personal spin that you put on the spell which is not written within the spell.</blockquote>
