DISPEL MAGIC: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Dispel Magic BG2

Dispel Magic is a Baldur's Gate spell of weapon ward removers and spell ward removers types in BioWare's cRPG of 2000-2001, Baldur's Gate 2. Dispel Magic (Abjuration, SCRL1E) is a powerful AoE abjuration that can not only dispel magical buffs and wards on enemies, but also negative status effects on allies (including disease/nausea).

Note that Staff of the Magi inflicts on-hit caster level uncapped Dispel Magic whereas Carsomyr's on-hit DM is capped at caster level 15th. In addition, Inquisitor BG2 casts Dispel Magic at 2x character level.

A dispel magic removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning, and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the dispel magic is above the original caster, his chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of dispel magic is below the original caster, his chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 1% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic he is trying to dispel, there is only a 1% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic he is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: while this spell dispels the individual effects of grease, web, stinking cloud and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect.
