Hi everyone,
Dispel Magic interaction with multi target spells isn't clear. For examples, if my allies are under the effect of Calm Emotions, do I need to cast Dispel Magic on each ally or can I dispel the whole spell with one Dispel Magic?
Some spells, such as dispel magic, can be used to eliminate
the effects of other spells. At least one creature, object, or
manifestation of the spell you are trying to counteract must
be within range of the spell that you are using. You attempt
a counteract check (page 458) using your spellcasting ability
modifier and your proficiency bonus for spell attack rolls.
According to this, even if the spell is a Burst spell as in the case of Calm Emotions, as long as a single creature who is under the effects of the spell is within range the entire spell can be counteracted.
I don't see anything unclear about that. If you had to dispel each effected creature there would be some indication of how to do so. This is not the case.
Thanks. I was reading Dispel Magic and didn't thought looking at Counteracting rules.
