Dismissing Blink

[Tinalles]

The spell Blink is dismissible.

Can I choose to dismiss it while I am on the ethereal plane?

If so, am I stuck there until I cast blink again, or does it dump me back in the material plane?

[Drahliana Moonrunner]

No.

See above.

[Tinalles]

See above what? The spell itself?

I've read the spell over multiple times, and I don't see anything about when you can dismiss it, or what happens if you dismiss it while ethereal.

[John Mechalas]

"See above", meaning, the answer "no" to the first implies the answer to the second.

You can dismiss blink, but when the spell ends you return to the plane you were on when you cast it. While this isn't explicitly stated, the convention with spells that have a duration is that the effect ends when the spell does.

If it let you switch permanently between one or the other by timing the dismissal just right, you'd essentially have a very cheap version of Plane Shift.

Ah, that makes sense.

Thanks.
