Maybe I should create a new thread for this dispel stuff, but its somewhat relevant to the whole spell discussion.

As to the dispel magic line, it gets chances to dispel magic effects, good or bad. The higher level ones are stronger when it comes to stripping effects. Effects that are higher level and/or from a higher level caster are harder to remove. But unlike the counter types, you don't know for sure. There's no nice numbers given. They also seem to have a tendency to try multiple spells down the line, so a dispel magic could strip your 7th buff. Almost seems like it gets to try every buff until it succeeds or fails them all. Like counter remover spells, dispel magics can have multiple lines. Recant magic, for example, has:
1: Cancel Magic(9)
2: Cancel Magic(9)
3: Cancel Magic(9)
4: Cancel Magic(9)
That allows it to strip 4 buffs. For any player class besides enchanter though, the max is 2.
