Hurls a creature back to its home plane.

AD&D 2e

Dismissal

Spell Level: 5 Rarity: Common
Schools (Mage): Abjuration, Song
Components: V, S, M (an item distasteful to the target)
Range: 10 yards Casting Time: 1 round
Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Negates
Target: 1 extraplanar creature

The target extraplanar creature is whisked away to its home plane. There is a 20% chance of sending the creature to some plane other than its own. If the creature is willing, it can forgo the saving throw.

The creature is allowed to roll Magic Resistance against the spell. If that fails, compare the Hit Dice of the target and the caster -- if the target's HD are lower than the caster's level, they get a penalty on their save equal to the difference. If the target's HD are higher, they get a bonus on their save equal to the difference. Either way, if the save vs. spell is successful, the creature is not affected by this casting of the spell.
