The third valid target for dispel magic is one magical effect within range. Unlike the first two, this way of using dispel magic will only affect one magical effect. Basically, the magical effect is there to allow you to dispel magic that is not attached to creatures or objects or to target a single effect on a creature or object.
Here is the scenario: A warlock casts darkness (level 2) on himself, then a cleric casts dispel magic, targetting the "magical effect". Since dispel magic reads: "Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends", the target is valid. The problem is that dispel magic doesn't specify ...
In D&D 5e, the spell Dispel Magic says. Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. The rest of the spell description explains that spells "on the target" of a level lower than that at which Dispel Magic was cast automatically end, and those of a higher level require a check.
You are correct, dispel magic will work on the hut. Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the dome or be cast through it. Casting dispel magic would be casting a spell at the hut, not through it (eg to a target inside or on the other side of it). A caster standing on the outside of the barrier casting a dispel magic at it, would ...
If you can't perceive an evil wizard with invisibility, then the assumption must be made the evil wizard is also actively hiding. Without a viable target (the creature under invisibility) there is nothing to target. Without a target, there is no successful dispel magic. When casting Dispel Magic, you have your 3 choices (a creature, an object ...
Counterspell and Dispel Magic work only on spells, but Wild Shape is not a spell. Dispel Magic: Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. Jeremy Crawford agrees.
On the other hand, if this really is how Dispel Magic works, then the odds of dispelling a 9th-level spell with a 3rd-level slot for a character with 20 Intelligence is only 1%. Even using a 6th level slot to improve your odds only gets you up to 6.3% .
However, this will not "counter" their spell, rather, it will dispel it as soon as they cast it. So any spell with a duration of Instantaneous will be unaffected. This will only end the ongoing effects of spells which create ongoing effects. This is not at all the same as "turning Dispel Magic into a spell with a casting time of Reaction". From ...
Dispel Magic does one thing... it ends spells. So you would lose a spell slot according to optional sources and Jeremy Crawford's rulings... but that is up to your DM. Jeremy Crawford almost always opens with that in any answer about Dispel Magic. You bolded the wrong section of the wording: Choose one object, creature, or magic effect within ...
Can you use dispel magic on the creations of a spell like animate dead or affect those creations with antimagic field? It will affect undead and constructs the same as other beings; for instance, if they have a magic spell on them like Protection from Good and Evil, it will end that. Specific spell descriptions can override this such as Wall of ...
