Dispel

Tiered unmaking: at Tier 1 it strips the magic from your held item; at Tier 2 it also washes away the magic clinging to you.

Pattern​

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

5 × 5, one layer. Drawn flat on the ground, facing any compass direction.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
  • Tier block × 15
    Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
  • Air or a Tier 0 block × 10
    Leave these as air, or fill them with Tier 0 blocks such as dirt or stone.
  • Activation block
    The glowing cell is the one to click.
  • Spent
    Cells with a corner mark are used up when the rune wakes.

How it works​

Dispel unmakes Runic magic. Draw the ring, hold anything you want cleansed, and right-click the centre. Its reach grows with its Tier:

TierWhat it clears
1Every Runic effect on the item in your hand.
2The held item, plus magic acting on you: a personal Stature, a Babel Curse or Butterfingers Curse, Breeze Step, a Spring leap, a Spirit Walk, and a summoned Ghast Harness.
3 to 7All of that, plus Runic magic bound to blocks in the world around the centre, within twice the Tier in blocks: 6 at Tier 3, up to 14 at Tier 7.

The magic unravels (3 binding(s) stripped).

Good to know​

  • An item carrying Silkier Touch vanishes entirely when dispelled.
  • At Tier 3 and above it clears hex and curse traps around it.
  • A Tier 7 Dispel cast over a Genesis casting site severs that pocket's way home.
  • Area structures such as a Stature Field stay standing when you clear your own magic at Tier 2.
