If you want to cause non-spell magical effects to end, take a look at the antimagic field spell. It has no effect on a vampire's Charm ability or any other magical effect that isn’t a spell.
This is addressed in the Sage Advice Compendium, the official source of rules clarifications (bracketed context mine):Ĭan you use dispel magic to dispel a magical effect like a vampire's Charm ability or a druid's Wild Shape? Dispel magic has a particular purpose: to break other spells. It doesn't matter that Wild Shape is magical in nature it is simply not a spell.

Neither of the spells above can affect Wild Shape because it is not a spell. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect.Īnd for dispel magic (emphasis still mine):Ĭhoose one creature, object, or magical effect within range.
