Dispel and Imprision?

[pjft]

Hi,

I'd expect Dispel to work on Imprision. It doesn't seem to do so. Is it a bug? The text on the cards doesn't seem to suggest it doesn't.

See attached screenshots.

Cheers!

Dispel does work on Imprison. However, it will only work if you have line of sight to the target who is imprisoned. Since Imprison creates a wall, it blocks line of sight between the unit inside the prison and those outside the prison. Therefore, the only time Dispel could actually be used to break the enchantment is an imprisoned mage casting Dispel magic on him/herself.

I think the line of sight to the imprisoned unit shouldn't be relevant for dispel. The Imprison spell is creating pysical objects. As long as these objects are visible dispel should work, just the same as it does with barricade.

The spell that removes walls does this already though q, so no need to over power dispel by also making it remove walls (when cast externally)

Looking at it from a logical standpoint if dispel can externally remove positional spells like barricade, which is essentially one wall, it should be able to remove 4 Walls, no matter if ur looking at the walls from the inside or outside. If the spell is attached to the unit it should teleport with the unit and be removable from within by dispelling and bliss, since bliss removes all other individual curses. Since Imprison is part of manipulation magic it being objective rather than individual would better fit the theme of this school of magic.
