The third valid target for dispel magic is one magical effect within range. Unlike the first two, this way of using dispel magic will only affect one magical effect. Basically, the magical effect is there to allow you to dispel magic that is not attached to creatures or objects or to target a single effect on a creature or object.
The answer by guildsbounty gets Jeremy Crawford’s statement on what dispel magic is supposed to do, which is remove every spell. This is also how I believe the actual rules text should be read, so I want to address the grammatical structure of the sentence, because its construction is a bit awkward and butts up against some oddities in the ...
In D&D 5e, the spell Dispel Magic says. Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. The rest of the spell description explains that spells "on the target" of a level lower than that at which Dispel Magic was cast automatically end, and those of a higher level require a check.
However, this will not "counter" their spell, rather, it will dispel it as soon as they cast it. So any spell with a duration of Instantaneous will be unaffected. This will only end the ongoing effects of spells which create ongoing effects. This is not at all the same as "turning Dispel Magic into a spell with a casting time of Reaction". From ...
Dispel Magic does one thing... it ends spells. So you would lose a spell slot according to optional sources and Jeremy Crawford's rulings... but that is up to your DM. Jeremy Crawford almost always opens with that in any answer about Dispel Magic. You bolded the wrong section of the wording: Choose one object, creature, or magic effect within ...
Many spells are instantaneous. The spell harms, heals, creates, or alters a creature or an object in a way that can't be dispelled, because its magic exists only for an instant. So the familiar can't be dispelled using dispel magic. For more details on dispelling magical effects, see this related question.
Here is the scenario: A warlock casts darkness (level 2) on himself, then a cleric casts dispel magic, targetting the "magical effect". Since dispel magic reads: "Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends", the target is valid. The problem is that dispel magic doesn't specify ...
No, dispel magic works on each creature independently. Here is an excerpt from the Sage Advice Compendium: [...] a spell like conjure woodland beings has a non-instantaneous duration, which means its creations can be ended by dispel magic and they temporarily disappear within an antimagic field.
If you can't perceive an evil wizard with invisibility, then the assumption must be made the evil wizard is also actively hiding. Without a viable target (the creature under invisibility) there is nothing to target. Without a target, there is no successful dispel magic. When casting Dispel Magic, you have your 3 choices (a creature, an object ...
Counterspell and Dispel Magic work only on spells, but Wild Shape is not a spell. Dispel Magic: Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. Jeremy Crawford agrees.
