Barbarian's Spell Sunder


Advice


So, I was wondering exactly how the Barbarian's Rage Power "Spell Sunder" works, what is defined

Once per rage, the barbarian can attempt to sunder an ongoing spell effect by succeeding at a combat maneuver check. For any effect other than one on a creature, the barbarian must make her combat maneuver check against a CMD of 15 plus the effect’s caster level. To sunder an effect on a creature, the barbarian must succeed at a normal sunder combat maneuver against the creature’s CMD + 5, ignoring any miss chance caused by a spell or spell-like ability. If successful, the barbarian suppresses the effect for 1 round, or 2 rounds if she exceeded the CMD by 5 to 9. If she exceeds the CMD by 10 or more, the effect is dispelled.

What exactly is an "ongoing spell effect", would the effects of Blindness-Deafness be "ongoing", or is it for more immediate spells like a spell that says "takes 1d6 fire damage for 1d4 additional rounds" ?

Just trying to clear this up for my player who is coming up to this point.


An "ongoing" spell effect is for any spell whose duration has not expired.

Blindness-deafness has a duration of "Permanent" so it would be "ongoing" until it is dispelled.

Blinding Ray has a duration of "instantaneous", so its blindness cannot be dispelled.
