Effect: By means of this spell, the spell caster can dispel any phantasmal force --
with or without audible glamer -- cast by a nonillusionist;
and the spell has the same chance of dispelling any illusion/phantasm spells of another illusionist as a dispel magic spell does,
i.e. 50% base chance adjusted by 2% downward, or 5% upward, for each level of experience lesser/greater of the illusionist casting the dispel illusion compared to the illusionist casting the spell to be dispelled.

Magic-User:
This spell is similar to the 3rd-level illusionist spell of the same name.
A magic-user attempting to dispel an illusion is considered at two <2> levels below his actual level with respect to illusion/phantasm spells cast by an illusionist.
 

Wu Jen: Wielding this spell, the wu jen may completely dispel any phantasmal force cast by a non-wu jen,
and may dispel those cast by other wu jen as if the 3d-level dispel magic spell was used.

Q: Why won't dispel illusion affect a
magic-user's Illusion/Phantasm spell effects
other than phantasmal force? Please
don't start talking about "game balance"
again!
A: Okay. In game logic, magic-users and
illusionists draw magical energies from
different sources, or of different types.
They can rarely affect each other's magics,
with the exceptions as noted. That
good enough for you?

Gary, does the presence of the detect illusion and dispel illusion spells imply that detect magic and dispel magic are ineffectual where illusions are concerned?

Just so.

The magic used for illusions is considered to be of a different sort that the other kinds.
That is why there is a separate sub-class for Illusionists.
