We have a couple people in Nihilum trying to log on to live servers to test dispel counters, though the system was largely changed around 2002-2004. Old posts about MR involved in dispels sound like someone was jumping to conclusions. Reading through all these old dispel related threads reveals most players didn't understand the concept of counters, especially as they applied to dispels, and this led to several weird theories including the involvement of MR.

ONLY REMOVES ONE, By Ahappysk (1/28/2001)

This spell actually only removes a maximum of one (de)buff at a time. Also, it"s not guaranteed that a spell will be removed with each cast; if a debuff was cast by a very high level character or NPC it may take a few casts of this to break it. Robe casters get higher level versions of this that have a better chance of removing one or more effects (Enchanters" Pillage Enchantment being the ultimate spell in this line, IIRC). Finally, always remember that this spell IS considered an offensive spell by NPCs, and they"ll react to it as though you"d attacked them directly. Not sure how town guards react if you cast it on a group member (you must be grouped to cast it on a PC unless you"re PvP or duelling).

I believe they were mistaken about the level of the entity being a factor in the counters rather than the level of the spell itself. High lvl npcs/pcs don't generally cast lower level spells and this isn't the way counters worked with poison/disease.
