Just a few things I noticed during my read through of the core book. I understand I may have misinterpreted or overlooked some things so I would appreciate any feedback if I misunderstood something or if it’s clarified elsewhere.

You might want to mention something about heightening dispel magic for the purpose of dispel checks as it isn’t immediately apparent you need to do so in order to pass most counteract checks for spells of a higher level.
Moreover, in table 9-3 on page 230, when using dispel magic to dispel a spell are you using the effect level of the spell you’re attempting to dispel (the right side of the table) or are you simply comparing spell level to spell level? For example, can a dispel magic dispel a spell of 6th level or lower without receiving a negative penalty because you’re comparing the left (spell level 3) to the right (6-5 or less)? This needs to be made clearer. An example dispelling or two would be helpful.

In the 3 actions entry for Heal it says “but it targets all living and undead creatures in the burst and reduces the amount of healing or damage to your spellcasting ability modifier”
Is the phrase “to your spellcasting ability modifier” supposed to read “by your spellcasting ability modifier”? And if so is this essentially negating the bonus that you receive for the other versions. I.e. if you use the 3 action version at level 1 would it harm/heal 1d8 HP? Rather than 1d8 - modifier (since you normally get the modifier as a bonus)?

Same as with the Harm entry.
Page 230
In the House of Imaginary Walls cantrip it mentions that you and your allies can choose to disbelieve the wall in order to keep it solid (so they can interact with it), but if they choose to disbelieve it does that affect an enemy’s knowledge of it as an illusory structure? For example, if the enemy fails to realize it’s an illusion but your allies do, could your allies fire ranged weapons through it freely while the enemy is blocked by the wall, or does the act of firing a ranged weapon through the wall allow the foe to automatically realize the wall is illusory in nature?
Same question on the 3 action Heal entry, not sure exactly how it's supposed to work.

I think it means that you don’t get your primary stat as a bonus, but it’s unclear.
I looked at the 5th level cleric pregen, and yes, that does appear to be it, 1st level is just your modifier, then heightening adds 1d8 as well as the modifier.
