He has you were too busy flaming me to notice but he has. In any event he is
quite clearly wrong anyone who has played the game knows dispel magic never
fails and anyone who has looked at the spells via near infinity or IEEP or any
other program knows it is set to work 100% of the time period. There is no
complex kung fu to the dispel magic spells in the infinity engine games.

Of course you don't because it works every time all the time. Dispel magic in
all its forms never fails. They all say it has a vodoo your level vs the
targets level because the spell description says it does and because if you
play the game pen n paper it would. But the truth of the matter is they never
implimented that in any of the Infininity engine games. Nothing I can see in
any of the dispel magic spells using Near Infinity or IEEP or any other program
indicates that at all and I have never seen it fail when playing the game.
That is how I know he is full of it. It never fails. And since you HATE me
and have little reason to lie about me being right I think we can all ignore
that person from now on for being the liar he is. This isn't a hate Mike issue
its just the way those spells work and nothing is gained by lying to everyone
about what I said. Its not even about my scripts or anything like that either
so he is just a jerk.
Dispel magic never fails it works 100% of the time all the time. It does have
an area effect and if you are out of its blast area you won't be hit but then
we all knew that. It doesn't dispel every possible effect of course but if it
can dispel an effect it will.
And by the way the reason it kills Nishuruu and Harshars is their script says
if those spells are cast on me kill self.
But here is a tip for you though they share the same script Nishuruus and
harshars they both don't check for inquisitor dispel magic being cast on them
just clerical and mage dispel magic so you can't kill them with the other
versions.
Not unless you use my superscripts which correct that error and omission.
And you all thought I didn't fix things for the better.
In any event its not the spell itself that kills those monsters its their
script decting those spells. Corrected to include them all if you use my
superscripts.
See here from the original script
IF
OR(3)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],CLERIC_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],WIZARD_TRUE_DISPEL_MAGIC)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
Kill(Myself)
END
And here from mine using a corrected spell.ids and adding the other dispel
magic spells.
IF
OR(10)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC)
// this is wizard true dispel magic corrected in my spell.ids file
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],INQUIS_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],INNATE_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],CLERIC_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastOnMe([ANYONE],WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastInnate([ANYONE],INNATE_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastInnate([ANYONE],INQUIS_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCastPriest([ANYONE],CLERIC_DISPEL_MAGIC)
SpellCast([ANYONE],WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC)
SpellCast([ANYONE],WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
Kill(Myself)
END
Trust me when I tell you that my way will eliminate unwanted nishuruu's and
harshars's faster and better. And its not cheating its just correcting an
error the designers made.
Thus without my superscripts inquisitor dispel magic is actually less useful
than the other forms since it won't eliminate those two enemies like it should.
And you all though inquisitor dispel magic was better than the other forms.
Wrong its the same or worse than the others since without using my superscripts
it can't even eliminate nishuruus and harshars.
I always find it funny when people claim inquisitor dispel magic works better
than the other versions. Especially when those people making that claim are
not using my superscripts and therefor can't use it to eliminate nisuruus and
harshars.

KING HENRY V
We would have all such offenders so cut off: and we give express charge, that
in our marches through the country, there be nothing compelled from the
villages, nothing taken but paid for, none of the French upbraided or abused in
disdainful language; for when lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the
gentler gamester is the soonest winner.
HENRY V Act 3 Scene 6 William Shakespeare
BATES
Ay, or more than we should seek after; for we know enough, if we know we are
the kings subjects: if his cause be wrong, our obedience to the king wipes the
crime of it out of us
WILLIAMS
But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make,
when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join
together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place;' some
swearing, some crying for a surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind
them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left. I am
afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how can they charitably
dispose of any thing, when blood is their argument? Now, if these men do not
die well, it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it; whom to
disobey were against all proportion of subjection.
HENRY V Act 4 Scene 1 William Shakespeare
