Beamup 11-02-04, 01:58 PM	I would have to say no, it's not an effect. It's part of the mechanic for deciding what happens rather than something the spell makes happen.

At 11th level, you are generally better off casting a Repeated Dispell Magic than a Greater Dispell Magic. Even at 15th level, it is usually a better deal.
