Dispel Magic 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences
The 2024 version states "ongoing spell" instead of just "spell," clarifying it affects active spells. It adds "ranger" to classes. The automatic end effect now applies to spells of level equal to or less than the spell slot level, removing the previous wording about "effects of a spell."
