Or it was just an illusion (silent image to be specific) to temporarily sooth Spencer's crippling anxiety...to which was dispelled by her loving fiancee
I got into an argument with someone playing MTG once. I plainly said "I draw all cards in my deck" but some neckbeard tryhard tried to tell me that since I draw 2 extra cards per 1 drawn (not infinite), i basically drew all the cards in my deck and some meaning I lost. I had infinite mana. I had cast to draw per mana spent. So after arguing that I didn't explain the math I declared what I was doing because having to explain how many cards I draw is stupid, in my own saving moment to end the dumbass's argument I said "Fine. I counterspell my own draw." Everyone went silent. "Now. I cast something that allows me to draw 10 cards. That means I draw 30. " Won anyways.
I once ran a game where the entire adventure relied on the party talking to an enchanted statue, which would direct them to the secret entrance and effectively start the adventure. First thing the wizard does? Dispel Magic. I told him it was a higher level, so he needed to roll a DC 19 check to dispel it. Nat 20.
If you have an important story object or npc, never set a dc or armor class of 19, accidentally killed a major story npc in my dm's game with a nat 20 because it's ac was 19

I like magic in DnD, some of my favorite and most enjoyable characters have been wizards. However, a problem with magic is the creativity. A lot of times it promotes creativity, which is of course a good thing, but it also stumps creativity. Some players, which sometimes includes myself, use magic in a repeative and straight forward way to deal with problems. For example, dangerous cave portal out, a castle wall fly over it, 30 goblins fire ball. To be fair there is technically no problem as long as they follow the rules, but the problem is that this straight forward method may be boring and unfun to the other players
Darien B and it is no fun when the wizard decides to skip 1 hour of investigation/perception checks, actual dungeoneering and opportunities for other players to do something
Dispel magic: "Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range." if the tables and chairs were animated by spell animate object which is 5th level spell and there is 2 tables with 2 chairs each that is 6 slots burned just to dispel them leaveing you with 3x5th level spell slots and no any higher because you never rolled
Animated things actually have an ability called Antimagic Susceptibility that basically says if you try to dispell it, it has to make a con save or fall unconscious for a minute, so while you could dispell them, it wouldn't be permanent (although things animated by a spell may be different than by an NPC). Dispell Magic is meant more for getting rid of spells, and generally doesn't work as well on anything else, depending on the DM. Even if trying to dispell a magic item, there's more precedent with things like Remove Curse for spells (at least of this level) being unable to permanently effect magic items.
Animate Object lasts for 1 minute and requires concentration. Therefore it could not be Animate Object animating these objects, as it would not trigger under these circumstances.

This is the DnD video that reminds me the most of my first campaign. (I was a newbie joining a group of 6 experienced players, most of whom had DMed. The DM trying to tell stories and set traps and the experienced players undercutting everything with DETECT MAGIC or PERCEPTION or DISPEL MAGIC. Players creating single-concept characters and madly cackling Blatant and open sabotage of party members by other party members. People having personal lives and DM promising “we can finish this session early.” Some of the most fun I’ve had in life.
“I cast dispel magic on the dragon!” That’s one of those moments where you forget to roll for the dragon’s attack and just kill the wizard, then let the rest of the party continue on
Bruh I’m late but like that all I can see in this video like hard to not look at him and not tryna be rude really it’s just not a natural thing to see 😅
Love the counterspell/dispel magic combination. My party thought my character was boring but only me and the GM know how many TPKs were prevented thanks to their use.
Player: "Dispel magic!" GM: "You cast dispel magic, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work and magic isn't dispelled." Also GM: "The fireball hits you and you are now aflame." Player: "Dispel magic!!!" GM: "The fire on your body doesn't seem to be magical. You are still in flames." Player: "Dispel GM!!!!!"
The whole world collapses in on itself as the GM is dispelled. A moment later the GM realizes he isn't fictional nor is he magic causing the world to warp back into existence. A pulse of energy ripples through every plane as every single creature in it briefly experiences oblivion, for most it felt like waking up again despite them already being fully concoius, and was quickly forgotten. For beings of higher consciousness though, this could not go unexamined. A minute after the blip in reality, every god who managed to figure out the wizards location casts Disintegrate at 9th level to ensure the safety of their own realms.
@@drdoominstien713 Or, you know, do the wise thing and pop programmed amnesia (or it's more accurately named Evil counter part...) so the GM doesn't remember their importance.
The funny thing is I just replaced Fireball with Dispel Magic on my sorcerer. So the only 3rd level spells he knows now is Counterspell and Dispel Magic.
The flaw of Dispel Magic. In the campaign I'm currently playing, Dispel Magic has come in handy exactly once, since the vast majority of spells are not lingering, and a lot of the 'spells' used by our enemies in the campaign are innate abilities that are distinctly NOT spells (i.e not the 'you can cast X spell using this trait' sort of ability) Counterspell on the other hand is INFINITELY more useful, bad guy trying to teleport away? NO. Trying to cast Gaseous Form to escape your restraints? NOPE. Trying to cast finger of death or something on the party? NO, YOU AREN'T CASTING THAT. Counterspell > Dispel Magic every time.
Wouldn't counter spell still work since it says "you can cast this SPELL using this trait" usually that means the spell is at a set value, but it should still be counter able, id think
@@stickytim64 Well no, like I said the innate abilities are NOT 'you can cast this spell using this trait' That said, counterspell is still plenty useful because instantaneous spells are very common, dispel magic is the thing that gets gibbed most of the time by something being technically not a spell.
@@stickytim64 hes talking about something like mystics with their psychic abilities(not spells at all) or something like Strahd charm ability that works just like spell, but it isnt
Okay, this made me laugh harder than it should have. I can't believe you hit her with the book! Damn you, Wizard! (I obviously know it was fake. You didn't really hit her. She's a ray of sunshine. I mean look at dat smile.)
Funny thing, if the DM knew that... Animated objects have to make a con save against dispel magic, and only a failure will have them "de-animate" for only a minute... the wizard would have been thwarted
I think that it’s pretty neat how in the D&D UA-camr Cinematic Universe magic is real. Between this, and how AJ Pickett summons imps to help him with lore videos we can assume that at some point D&D UA-camrs learn actual magic.
In it's Defense: Dispel magic is a spell because of the sheer number and level of bull crud that can be thrown at players from outside sorces. If you have a problem with players using it as a problem solver, throw things that aren't magical at them. Or things that aren't entirely solved (Animated armour, for instance, have saves against the spell. They don't crumble to dust either. They go unmagical for like, a minute) Players that are like this are always going to be like this, and will find whatever applicable way their is to do it. Thank you :)
Or you could have them fight magic resistant enemies with more martial prowess than magic. The enemies use actual tactics and don’t die in a couple hits, or have it to where when they absorb a type of magic they get healed instead.
Also, to dispell magic of a spell of a higher level than your cast of the dispell magic, you would need to make a series of arcana checks, so let's use as an example the animated tavern encounter from this video, animated object was conjured as of 6th level to animate 4 chairs and 1 table, the wizard goes and cast dispel magic with a 3rd level spell slot, to be successful he would need to consecutively pass a DC 14, 15 and 16 ability checks (using your spellcasting ability) to dispell it. And if he decides to use a spell slot of higher level he deserves to nuke the encounter
@@anthonynorman7545 here, let me quote the spell description of dispell magic. "For EACH spell of or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level." So if you cast dispell magic at 3rd level to dispell a 6th level spell, you need to make 3 consecutive checks. I would say dispell magic is pretty balanced if you don't ignore raw
"dispel magic!" Dm: "1, it's not your turn. 2, they aren't magically animated. They're mimics. They were put here by a wizard to guarding a magic sigel that sealed away a dragon. Congrats. You are now in a 3 way battle with 15 mimics and an adult green dragon."
'Nyeh heeuuh, I solved the puzzle.' God, so much hate I feel. So much! I love Logan's exasperated, defeated 'ooohhhhh my gooood' as the fireball is counterspelled. That's the voice of a man who knows he's lost control of the situation.
Reminds me when we dispelled magic on an object that was giving off major divination vibes. We figured we were being spied on. Turns out a blind old lady was using it to see and had just misplaced it.
'I cast dispell magic' - ok, roll for it- 'Nat 20' 'As you finish casting you're spell, the floor beneath you fades from existance revealing a 200 foot drop onto rust covered iron spikes, between the spikes lay broken and shatteredbones, the remains of previous obnoctious wizards, the windows and doors in the room vanish, you find you'reself suspended for a moment before plunging to you're unavoidable death'
I know it was part of the joke but when the dragon breath came up I was internally screaming "you can't dispel or counterspell that, it's not a spell or magic, it's a natural ability," of course I realize that was probably the point, so... in other words... good job. (Anyway, great video, it was awesome)
I play mono blue and mostly just spam unsummon The equivalent would be some kind of slow spell. Like I'm not wasting all my Mana on one Counterspell and probably countering the non threat in their combo bullshit. I'mma just unsummon everything for hardly anything, it all goes back to their hand, and now I have another turn to attack against with some birds

Thats what the other guy was saying. Its an action not a spell.
tho dragon are made of magic so without magic they die
You just killed her with the book!
Nah she died after the staff
Sounds like a DM.
Nah. Tis but a bruise
Spencer's timing on those hits was super convincing, good job ya'll.
1:st minute: What is this video?

That book smack was great. Tell Spencer thank you for the entertainment
OMG no kidding! I didn't expect it and it was really funny!
This is the DnD video that reminds me the most of my first campaign. (I was a newbie joining a group of 6 experienced players, most of whom had DMed.
The DM trying to tell stories and set traps and the experienced players undercutting everything with DETECT MAGIC or PERCEPTION or DISPEL MAGIC.
Players creating single-concept characters and madly cackling
Blatant and open sabotage of party members by other party members.
People having personal lives and DM promising “we can finish this session early.”
Some of the most fun I’ve had in life.
“I cast dispel magic on the dragon!” That’s one of those moments where you forget to roll for the dragon’s attack and just kill the wizard, then let the rest of the party continue on
Player: *is spamming dispel magic*
Me: “have a draegn.”
dispell dragon
Use the dragon claw on the wizard
Yea, can't dispel dragon breath. I thought that was the satisfying conclusion of the wizard's tyranny. Instead you guys went all JJ Abrams on us.
@@MikeOldani I like monks because they beat up casters
@@shinobidaniel_12 Do they get something special for casters?
your despell magic was soo powerful it enveloped the world in a antimagic field.congrats,you are now just a old man with a fancy stick.

Bruh I’m late but like that all I can see in this video like hard to not look at him and not tryna be rude really it’s just not a natural thing to see 😅
@@laughingshadow6218 agreed - just a goatie would look so much better!
Wizard needs to dispel that.
Love the counterspell/dispel magic combination. My party thought my character was boring but only me and the GM know how many TPKs were prevented thanks to their use.
Player: "Dispel magic!"
GM: "You cast dispel magic, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work and magic isn't dispelled."
Also GM: "The fireball hits you and you are now aflame."
Player: "Dispel magic!!!"
GM: "The fire on your body doesn't seem to be magical. You are still in flames."
Player: "Dispel GM!!!!!"
GM: I am actually not the GM, but a GMPC masquerading as your Dungeon Master.
The real GM is locked away, safe and sound.
@@francescolombardi3438 Player: Therefore this session didn't happen and my character is safe and sound
The whole world collapses in on itself as the GM is dispelled.
A moment later the GM realizes he isn't fictional nor is he magic causing the world to warp back into existence. A pulse of energy ripples through every plane as every single creature in it briefly experiences oblivion, for most it felt like waking up again despite them already being fully concoius, and was quickly forgotten. For beings of higher consciousness though, this could not go unexamined. A minute after the blip in reality, every god who managed to figure out the wizards location casts Disintegrate at 9th level to ensure the safety of their own realms.
@@drdoominstien713 Or, you know, do the wise thing and pop programmed amnesia (or it's more accurately named Evil counter part...) so the GM doesn't remember their importance.
@@drdoominstien713I love this.
"Why was this backwards? I can't close it right."
Ah, yes. The familiar pain of folding cardboard.
Why is literally everyone on this channel adorable lol
Especially the DM.
The funny thing is I just replaced Fireball with Dispel Magic on my sorcerer. So the only 3rd level spells he knows now is Counterspell and Dispel Magic.
Should'a been an Abjurer!
1:53 the DM reaction. I never laughed so hard
“I cast Dispel Session”
“Alright see you next time guys”
This was really good, thank goodness I'm at home because it had me chuckling loudly.
The flaw of Dispel Magic.
In the campaign I'm currently playing, Dispel Magic has come in handy exactly once, since the vast majority of spells are not lingering, and a lot of the 'spells' used by our enemies in the campaign are innate abilities that are distinctly NOT spells (i.e not the 'you can cast X spell using this trait' sort of ability)
Counterspell on the other hand is INFINITELY more useful, bad guy trying to teleport away? NO. Trying to cast Gaseous Form to escape your restraints? NOPE. Trying to cast finger of death or something on the party? NO, YOU AREN'T CASTING THAT.
Counterspell > Dispel Magic every time.
Wouldn't counter spell still work since it says "you can cast this SPELL using this trait" usually that means the spell is at a set value, but it should still be counter able, id think
@@stickytim64 Well no, like I said the innate abilities are NOT 'you can cast this spell using this trait'
That said, counterspell is still plenty useful because instantaneous spells are very common, dispel magic is the thing that gets gibbed most of the time by something being technically not a spell.
@@stickytim64 hes talking about something like mystics with their psychic abilities(not spells at all) or something like Strahd charm ability that works just like spell, but it isnt
It works perfectly with the restorations!
@@aluksus9327 Yeah that.
Okay, this made me laugh harder than it should have. I can't believe you hit her with the book! Damn you, Wizard!
(I obviously know it was fake. You didn't really hit her. She's a ray of sunshine. I mean look at dat smile.)
Funny thing, if the DM knew that... Animated objects have to make a con save against dispel magic, and only a failure will have them "de-animate" for only a minute... the wizard would have been thwarted
What we DMs don't know can have huge effects on the game, for sure.
"No Spencers were harmed during the making of this video"
I'm so glad this is turning into a series... I gotta send this to my friends
"But I want lemons and you have a tree." Give your mom some lemons my dude.
"You don't deserve anything. I need them for my spells. So I can DISPELL them."
Horror
I think that it’s pretty neat how in the D&D UA-camr Cinematic Universe magic is real. Between this, and how AJ Pickett summons imps to help him with lore videos we can assume that at some point D&D UA-camrs learn actual magic.
In it's Defense:
Dispel magic is a spell because of the sheer number and level of bull crud that can be thrown at players from outside sorces.
If you have a problem with players using it as a problem solver, throw things that aren't magical at them. Or things that aren't entirely solved
(Animated armour, for instance, have saves against the spell. They don't crumble to dust either. They go unmagical for like, a minute)
Players that are like this are always going to be like this, and will find whatever applicable way their is to do it.
Thank you :)
Or you could have them fight magic resistant enemies with more martial prowess than magic. The enemies use actual tactics and don’t die in a couple hits, or have it to where when they absorb a type of magic they get healed instead.
Also, to dispell magic of a spell of a higher level than your cast of the dispell magic, you would need to make a series of arcana checks, so let's use as an example the animated tavern encounter from this video, animated object was conjured as of 6th level to animate 4 chairs and 1 table, the wizard goes and cast dispel magic with a 3rd level spell slot, to be successful he would need to consecutively pass a DC 14, 15 and 16 ability checks (using your spellcasting ability) to dispell it.
And if he decides to use a spell slot of higher level he deserves to nuke the encounter
@@Khaons why would it be 3 checks?
@@anthonynorman7545 here, let me quote the spell description of dispell magic. "For EACH spell of or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level."
So if you cast dispell magic at 3rd level to dispell a 6th level spell, you need to make 3 consecutive checks.
I would say dispell magic is pretty balanced if you don't ignore raw
@@Khaons yes, so it would be 1 DC 13 check per animated object. Animate objects is 1 spell not 3.
"I am the Wizard and you can be damn sure that I will be the ONLY ONE that gets to play with magic !"

3:25 when Spencer shows up with the blood on her face looking all pale, that’s such a dark little cut between the dumbassery in the other scenes 😂😂
Him getting excited and whipping the shit out of the other player with his staff was way too fking hilarious.
"We didn't hurt Spencer!" iunno, sounds like a good cover-up for actually hurting Spencer... :P
Jacob is wearing a beard in this skit because it's been stuck to his face since the fireball video.
2:05 His movements are like a true wizard!
"dispel magic!"
Dm: "1, it's not your turn. 2, they aren't magically animated. They're mimics. They were put here by a wizard to guarding a magic sigel that sealed away a dragon. Congrats. You are now in a 3 way battle with 15 mimics and an adult green dragon."
Structural magic is the best solution to reckless dispelling
If you roll high enough, your character will notice that thief forgets his phone at 5:10
0:55
As he was sitting on the other side of the table (like three-metres) I choose to believe Jacob used Mage hand to hush Tyler for his insolence.
Valid
'Nyeh heeuuh, I solved the puzzle.' God, so much hate I feel. So much!
I love Logan's exasperated, defeated 'ooohhhhh my gooood' as the fireball is counterspelled. That's the voice of a man who knows he's lost control of the situation.
3:57 “Are you challenging me, nave?”
3:54 the look of almost respect, then accepting the challenge the wizard gives, only to shut the guy down is priceless lmao
0:47 that "Yes" is perfect
Reminds me when we dispelled magic on an object that was giving off major divination vibes. We figured we were being spied on.
Turns out a blind old lady was using it to see and had just misplaced it.
So funny when they were expecting fireball and the wizard was like "wut?"
*Sees notification with Jacob's Face*
Me: *Dispells my magic everywhere*
'I cast dispell magic'
- ok, roll for it-
'Nat 20'
'As you finish casting you're spell, the floor beneath you fades from existance revealing a 200 foot drop onto rust covered iron spikes, between the spikes lay broken and shatteredbones, the remains of previous obnoctious wizards, the windows and doors in the room vanish, you find you'reself suspended for a moment before plunging to you're unavoidable death'
DM when he walks away
DM: they ask you how you are and you say you’re fine but really your not..
I know it was part of the joke but when the dragon breath came up I was internally screaming "you can't dispel or counterspell that, it's not a spell or magic, it's a natural ability," of course I realize that was probably the point, so... in other words... good job. (Anyway, great video, it was awesome)
"The echo of silence is music to my ears" - me rping the blue player inside me.
This is what it like to play against a control player in magic the gathering
I play mono blue and mostly just spam unsummon
The equivalent would be some kind of slow spell. Like I'm not wasting all my Mana on one Counterspell and probably countering the non threat in their combo bullshit. I'mma just unsummon everything for hardly anything, it all goes back to their hand, and now I have another turn to attack against with some birds
@@ultraatari9298 how to win by rq :p
He dispelled the magic of D&D and everyone left (mentally, at least)
