I need help. my memory is not like it used to be and searching isnt helping.
party got hit by confusion and 2 people were effected. another cast dispel magic on one of them and thought it should have gotten rid of it from both. I have always ruled one target one person but am not as sure anymore. opinions please

You can use dispel magic to end one ongoing spell that has been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, or to counter another spellcaster’s spell.

In Pathfinder Dispel Magic doesn't affect an area spell, it can cancel the part of a spell that affects a single creature or object. To dispel the whole confusion the caster needs Dispel Magic, Greater and to cast it as an area dispel.
