The magician must concentrate when casting this spell,
envisioning the pattern that he plans to disrupt with this spell. The caster
must know the arcane knowledge of the spell she is dispelling. If she does not
know the pattern skill and knowledge of the target spell effect, the caster
suffers a10 bonus modifier when casting this spell. She must gesture to draw
the pattern she envisions, and then aloud commands the pattern to break.
Dispel magic works through the principle of
definition. The casting mage is copies the pattern of the spell effect closely
enough to invoke the principle of definition and dispel the spell. Compare the
effect value of dispel magic to the casting total of the target caster.
