dispel

[steph]

OK in my fantasy game one of my player is a kind of white mage and the last game the group fights a powerfull warlock who need a focus oaf (black stone)to cast spells.........in the combat the mage hold is action to dispel a shadow bolt cast by the warlock...........now my question is if the mage dispel was a success is the focus (black stone) are dispelled or just the spell

hope i am clear

Hey Steph,

 

First, the definition of the Dispel needs to be considered. I'll assume that it was Dispel One Magical Effect (rather than All Magic Powers). The second is how the Black Stone Spell was bought.

 

1. If the stone is an expendable OAF then it was used up (The spell was already cast before it was dispelled).

2. If the stone is a simple OAF then nothing would happen to it.

 

There is a huge range of possibilities here but those are the two main variables.

Steph, you may be thinking of Suppress or Drain. If you Suppress or Drain one power that requires a focus then I think it Suppresses or Drains all powers that require that same focus. (At the very least that makes some sense). As for Dispel, it simply stops that one spell and that's it.

It is possible to dispel magic items and break them. I seem to remember reading that in FH.
