Dispel Magic [Spell]
All of these spells remove magical effects from the target. Dispel magic has a reduced chance of working, and is considering an attack spell.
Cancellation can only be used on allies, but is much more effective and does not provoke attack. Unfortunately, the spells do not discriminate between harmful and benign spells.
Counter magic can be used to dispel a single magical affect that is affecting you; this spell comes with the cancellation skill.
Dispel room dispell any room affects, like evil_ground; you can get a list of room affects with the raffects command.
The chance of dispelling is based on the level of the spell. Permanent spells (such as mobile sanctuary) are much harder to remove. Not all spells may be dispelled, notable examples are poison and plague.
Note: Cancellation does not require a verbal incantation, so it can be cast even when the caster is mute.
Syntax:
cast 'dispel magic' <character>
