Defensive Dispel, etc.

[sacolcor]

1) Can a character abort to a defensive Dispel?

2) How do adjustment powers (particularly Suppress) work when only the effect of a power (as opposed to the originator) is present?

Some examples of this:

a) Someone wanting to use "Suppress Mind Control" on a mind controlled victim to temporarily free them.

b) A Wall of Force spell (Force Wall), targetted by a Suppress Magic.

c) Someone shooting a lightning bolt (RKA) into an anti-magic zone (Continuous AE Suppress Magic).

Would it make a difference if the effect was Uncontrolled?

1. No. As stated on 5E 99, a character has to have a Held Action to use Dispel to stop an incoming power.

2. It works like normal.
