Dispel Magic (spell)

Dispel magic has the power to dispel forms of magic that are temporal in nature — that is, powers, spells and effects that have a definite moment of passing. Spells that have permanent effects cannot be reverse, nor can intrinsic magical qualities possessed by creatures or manifestations be abolished. For example, golems, undead, demons and the like are all "magical" in form ... but this kind of magic is immune to the effects of dispel magic.

Dispel Magic

Range	60 ft.
Duration	permanent
Area of Effect	30 ft. cube
Casting Time	2 rounds
Saving Throw	none
Level	cleric (3rd); druid (4th); illusionist (4th); mage (3rd)

Eliminates temporal magic within the area of effect, such as spells which are cast, or manifestations which creatures are able to cause at will.

The spell is always successful when employed against magic that has been brought into existence by a caster of equal or lesser level; however, all other magic or manifestations are entitled to a saving throw against magic, as the level of the creature from which it derived.

Enchanted items, such as scrolls, potions, rings, wands, staffs, rods, armour, weapons and so on are not affected by the spell. However, dispel magic will dispel the lasting effects caused by those items.
