I could be mistaken, but isn't 1701 supposed to block all dispels?

As this log clip shows, I got hit with a dispel (from a bandit black crystal) which properly stripped the 1701, but then also stripped a bunch of other spells. I was under the impression that some NIR had said that is 1701 activates and gets dispelled, no other spells would be stripped.

Suddenly, a tiny shard of jet black crystal flies from the shadows toward you!
The crystal shatters against your body and releases a pulse of anti-magic!
The brilliant, rapidly shifting aura around you shimmers and bursts in a bright flash! <<< 1701
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
You feel your extra strength departing.
Your SIGN OF WARDING is no longer effective.

It gets dispelled first. I wouldn't think it would prevent a mass dispell from taking more than 1 spell. Just that it would be the first spell gone.

I thought it was explicitly stated that it would prevent all spells from being dispelled in a mass dispel. I'll have to check the old posts to find it, if it's not too far back.

This is the only post I could find that said anything about what it did by a NIR.

>>Anyone know what Arcane Decoy (1701) is?

It's a buff that will always be the first spell dispelled. We'll have full descriptions on the website in a few days.

Yeah... I think if a level 1 spell could neuter two level 30 spells (or their alchemy equivalent) that would be grossly overpowered.

I don't know if this "effect" was fixed or not yet, but I was dispelled with Spiritual Abolition with Arcane Decoy running and it removed elemental spells along with it. No spiritual spells were dispelled. I think Elemental Disjunction had the opposite effect.

This should now be resolved. Thanks for reporting it.
