In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to overlook the beauty and magic that can be found in the ordinary days. We often wait for special occasions or memorable moments to experience joy and wonder, but the truth is, there is enchantment all around us if we take the time to notice. One of the simplest pleasures in life is waking up to a brand new day. The sun rises, painting the sky with a myriad of colors, and fills the air with a gentle warmth. The world awakens with the sweet serenade of chirping birds and the rustling leaves. It's a magical symphony that plays out each morning, inviting us to embrace the day ahead and all its possibilities.
Counterspell can counter a spell while it is being cast, the spell level of the spell being countered doesn't matter. It can not be used to counter spell like abilities, or supernatural ones.
I think there are two distinct uses of the Dispel Magic spell here the main one, usable to dispel an on-going spell effect such as bull s strength that had previously been cast, and the secondary one, counterspelling a spell as it is being cast. If an object or creature who is the effect of an ongoing spell, such as a monster summoned by monster summoning, is in the area, the character makes a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature returning it whence it came in addition to attempting to dispel spells targeting the creature or object.
It's a magical symphony that plays out each morning, inviting us to embrace the day ahead and all its possibilities. As we go about our daily routines, we encounter ordinary objects that can hold extraordinary significance. A cup of freshly brewed coffee becomes more than just a beverage; it becomes a comforting ritual that kickstarts our day.
You're Using Dispel Magic Wrong
Okay, I don't exactly know if you are using Dispel Magic incorrectly, but I have seen this issue come up in every group I've been in.
Dispel Magic is a popular spell, every spellcasting class (except Ranger) has access to this spell, and it is a great way to protect yourself from enemy spells. It is often mentioned that Dispel Magic only works with spells, you can't un-enchant a magical sword you find, however one thing that's often overlooked is how many spells it can end. According to the PHB, "Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability." Dispel magic isn't a one for one spell like counter spell, it can end any spell on what you target.
To exemplify this, lets set up an example, the party is about to fight an evil wizard they've been hunting for some time, since their fighter is their main damage dealer, they want to buff him up and protect him so he can stay in the fight. The cleric casts Aid to give him some more health, as well as Freedom of Movement and Death Ward to make sure he won't go down or get tied up, finally the cleric casts Holy Weapon on the fighter's sword for that sweet, sweet radiant damage. Then the wizard steps in and casts Haste, because if there's one thing the fighter needs, it's more attacks per turn. Now the fighter is ready for the fight, they bust the door down and roll Initiative.
The evil wizard goes first, seeing the fighter practically glowing with magic, he casts Dispel Magic at 3rd Level, so what happens? Well, assuming it isn't counter-spelled, immediately, the fighter loses his Aid and Haste, the evil wizard must make separate rolls for Death Ward and FoM, DC 14 for each. However, the fighter keeps the Holy Weapon because that targets his weapon, not the fighter himself.
So a 3rd level spell slot, takes out a 2nd, 3rd, and possibly 2 4th level spell slots. Dispel Magic is strong, you should take it on your spell list, unless you're a ranger, in which case you have other troubles.
Anyone have any interesting stories with how they've used Dispel Magic, or any homebrew adjustments they make with it? How do you prefer to use it?

The feel of crisp, clean bedsheets at the end of a long day can transport us to a place of tranquility and peace. These little moments, often taken for granted, can provide us with a sense of comfort and solace. The magic of ordinary days can also be found in the connections we make with others. A smile from a stranger, a kind word from a colleague, or a heartfelt conversation with a loved one can leave a lasting impact. These interactions remind us of the incredible power of human connection and the ability we have to brighten someone's day with a simple gesture or kind act. Nature itself is a constant source of wonder. The delicate petals of a flower, the symmetrical patterns of a butterfly's wings, or the rhythmic crashing of waves against the shore - all of these natural phenomena have the ability to leave us speechless. By immersing ourselves in nature, we can tap into an innate sense of awe and find solace in the sheer beauty and complexity of the world we inhabit. Ultimately, watching the magic of ordinary days requires a shift in perspective. It entails embracing mindfulness and being present in the moment, rather than constantly longing for something more.

By cultivating a sense of wonder and being mindful of the present moment, we can uncover the extraordinary in our everyday lives. So, let us pause, take a deep breath, and watch in awe as the enchantment of ordinary days unfolds before our eyes..
