''Greater dispel magic'' works the same way as [[SRD:Dispel Magic|''dispel magic'']], save for being more potentexcept that the maximum caster level on your dispel check is +20 instead of +10.
Additionally, ''greater dispel magic'' has a chance to dispel any effect that ''[[SRD:Remove Curse|remove curse]]'' can remove, even if [[SRD:Dispel Magic|''dispel magic'']] can’t dispel that effect.{{NonSRD|You can use ''dispel magic'' to end ongoing spells that have been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, to end ongoing spells (or at least their effects) within an area, or to counter another spellcaster’s spell. A dispelled spell ends as if its duration had expired. Some spells, as detailed in their descriptions, can’t be defeated by ''dispel magic''. ''Dispel magic'' can dispel (but not counter) spell-like effects just as it does spells.
''Note:'' The effect of a spell with an instantaneous duration can’t be dispelled, because the magical effect is already over before the ''dispel magic'' can take effect.
You may choose to automatically succeed on dispel checks against any spell that you have cast.
''Counterspell:'' When ''dispel magic'' is used in this way, the spell targets a spellcaster and is cast as a counterspell. Unlike a true counterspell, however, ''dispel magic'' may not work; you must make a dispel check to counter the other spellcaster’s spell. Additionally, ''greater dispel magic'' has a chance to dispel any effect that ''[[SRD:Remove Curse|remove curse]]'' can remove, even if [[SRD:Dispel Magic|''dispel magic'']] can’t dispel that effect.}}
