Elemental Dispel, when targeted at a character or creature and cast, has one of three results:

  1. Will cause the target to lose any currently prepared spell, along with the mana it would have required to cast that spell. May inflict nerve damage when dispelling a prepared spell from a target.
  2. Will cause a spell that is current cast on the target to be dispelled (i.e. if the target had Elemental Defense I active then Elemental Defense I would be removed). The mana cost for removing a spell is reduced by one (1) mana per seventy-five (75) skill bonus in the Elemental Mana Control skill.
  3. Will cause the target to lose a portion, or even all of its mana.

The mana costs for Elemental, Spiritual, and Mental Dispel are dependent upon the sphere and level of the spell removed, and pertinent Mana Control ranks. For example, at 24 EMC ranks, Elemental Dispel only takes 5 mana to remove 401, 7 mana to remove 406, and 8 mana to remove 507. Out of sphere is higher, but each of the three spells always targets its respective type first (i.e., Elemental Dispel targets elemental spells).

The mana costs for dispelling a prepared spell or burning a target's mana remain a flat 17 mana, and are NOT affected by mana control skill training.

If cast on an item, the spell has a chance to drain charges, dispel any stored spells, or remove another type of special quality. When cast at an Elementally Bladed weapon or bolts/arrows then it will remove the elemental blade magic; the same is true for a weapon enhanced with Minor Elemental Edging.

A sphere interference cascade effect triggers when single dispel spells of different spheres are used on the same target in combination.
