Limited Wish and countering Baleful Polymorph


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

If a wizard is using Limited Wish to dispel Baleful Polymorph, does it simply happen automatically, as per the spell, or does a caster level check still need to be made?

"A limited wish lets you create nearly any type of effect. For example, a limited wish can do any of the following things.

Duplicate any sorcerer/wizard spell of 6th level or lower, provided the spell does not belong to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any non-sorcerer/wizard spell of 5th level or lower, provided the spell does not belong to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any sorcerer/wizard spell of 5th level or lower, even if it belongs to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any non-sorcerer/wizard spell of 4th level or lower, even if it belongs to one of your opposition schools.

Undo the harmful effects of many spells, such as insanity."

It is my understanding that since breaking the Baleful Polymorph spell is like the spells dispel magic or Break Enchantment, then the last line of the Limited Wish spells must be adhered to:

"A duplicated spell allows saving throws and spell resistance as normal, but the save DC is for a 7th-level spell. When a limited wish spell duplicates a spell with a material component that costs more than 1,000 gp, you must provide that component (in addition to the 1,500 gp diamond component for this spell)."

Thus it would appear a caster level check would still be needed?
