Spirit Dispel, as the name implies, dispels magical effects from the target with a spiritual emphasis.

Player or Creature Target

The spell can have one of three possible effects when cast on a creature or player target, in the order presented. First, it will cause the target to lose a prepared spell, if any. This may result in the target receiving nerve damage. Second, if there are no prepared spells, it will dispel any spells the target has active on them, such as a defensive spell. Third, if there are no active spells on the target, it will drain the target's mana.

The mana cost for removing a spell is reduced by one (1) mana per seventy-five (75) skill bonus in the Spirit Mana Control skill. 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.

When cast on a target, a hazy film coats the target. If Elemental Dispel is cast on the target before the hazy film fades, a flare may affect the target based on the level of the player character or creature being dispelled compared to the level of those dispelling.

Laakshmi gestures at you.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
You are coated in a hazy film.
>
The hazy film fades from around you.

An example of the dispel spell interference cascade effect:

You trace a simple rune while intoning the mystical phrase for Elemental Dispel...
Your spell is ready.
>
You gesture at an Illoke mystic.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around an Illoke mystic.
The elemental aura around an Illoke mystic wavers.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

>
You utter a light chant and raise your hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to aid you with the Spirit Dispel spell...
Your spell is ready.
>
You gesture at an Illoke mystic.
An Illoke mystic returns to normal color.
The hazy film around an Illoke mystic fluxes chaotically!
... 50 points of damage!
The Illoke mystic's leg is consumed in an intense field of plasma reducing it to ash!
The Illoke mystic is stunned!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Item Target

When used on an item, the spell may drain charges from the item, dispel any stored spells, or remove some other special ability.[1] It can be used to remove a blessing from a weapon:

>l cudgel
A faint aura of holy light radiates from the cudgel.
>cast cudgel
You gesture at a cudgel.
The searing white light that was once imbedded in the cudgel dissipates.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>l cudgel
You see nothing unusual.
