02-15-06, 12:53 AM Flesh to Stone is a 6th level spell. Break Enchantment is a 5th level spell.

The Break Enchantment spell states it can reverse even the effect of a Flesh to Stone.
Yet, it also says in its decription "if the spell is one that cannot be dispelled by Dispel Magic, Break Enchantment works only if that spell is 5th level or lower."

Flesh to Stone is an instantaneous spell that cannot be dispelled by Dispel Magic, and is not lower than 5th level. So, it should not work.

Which part of the spell description is correct? Is dispelling Flesh to Stone supposed to be an exception?

Thanks,

It is in error as an example of what would work.
