Interesting Dispel Magic Questions

[Aimeryan]

I wouldn't categorize them by range, since the range is entirely irrelevant. That being said, Spirit Guardians is another spell with a range of self that does not bestow an effect on the caster, but it instead creates spirits that flit around the caster (i.e. a magical effect, which in turn can be targeted by dispel magic.)

The ruling I proposed is based entirely on the nature of the spell effect per dispel magic's description. The mechanics are simple. What effect does the spell create, and does it reside on a creature, an object or in the form of a magical effect? The answer to that question is the answer to "What can dispel magic target?"

Another 'Self (Area)' range. If I ask for a potato, I feel like some people here would give me a tomato. I want a 'Self' range spell, not a 'Self (Area)' range spell. They act very differently, so why would I want those in answer? I don't know why this isn't obvious.
