Eidolon loses BOTH saves versus Baleful Polymorph


Rules Questions


Eidolon lost both saves vs a baleful polymorph. Both form and mind are now a housecat.

How can I get him back to normal?


Dispel Magic should do the trick. :)

I thought dispel magic didn't work on permanent things?


Dispel doesn't work on instantaneous effects, but can affect permanent ones:

Permanent: The energy remains as long as the effect does. This means the spell is vulnerable to dispel magic.

As far as duration are concerned, permanent does not actually mean permanent. It just means time won't end the spell. Other things can end the spell just fine.

Spells with a duration of instantaneous are the ones that are truly permanent. You can't use dispel magic to bring back something destroyed by disintegrate, or to undo the healing of a cure light wounds. The magic that caused those effects is already done and gone.
