So I thought it would be a good idea to buy a ring of counterspelling and then put a "greater dispell magic" inside it. Whenever an enemy casts "greater dispell magic" on him, the ring would activate and counterspell the targeted "greater dispell magic". But that also seems quite odd to me; I am not sure if you can use "dispell magic" to dispell the spell "dispell magic" itself. I have found nothing in the rules that says I cannot do it, so I believe it might work. Does anyone know if there is a rule which prohibits this scheme? Of course this ring would not dispell "dispell magic", only "greater dispell magic" (assuming I am placing a "greater dispell magic" in the ring), just like what happens to "fire ball" and "delayed fire ball", but besides that, are there any other problems?
