I'm scratching my head wondering how Dispel should work against a Transform that has affected a target multiple times?
Ie - Say a character has a classic Turn People Into Frogs spell, defined as Severe Transform 3d6 [30AP].
Target A has been hit with the Transform once, for 11 points worth of effect: that's not twice his BODY so he's not transformed, but maybe he's starting to look a little green. A friend hits him with a Dispel Magic spell, which presumably just needs to exceed the 30 AP in the spell.
Target B has been hit with the same Transform spell 3 times for a total of 31 points of effect: that does exceed twice his BODY, so he's now a frog. In order to counter the transformation, does the Dispel only need to exceed the 30 AP in the Transform, as above? Or do the 31 points of cumulative "damage" come into play, and if so how? Or do you need 3 Dispels, one against each of the 3 Transforms the target was hit with? Or 1 Dispel vs. 90 AP? Or something else? If the Dispel is cumulative in some way, does the target turn back into a human as soon as enough damage has been countered to drop him below 2xBODY? Or only when it's fully Dispelled back to 0 effect?
Lastly, does it make a difference if "Dispel Magic" is specifically listed as one of the Healing methods for the Transform or not?
Edit: If the Transform spell has the Partial Transform Advantage, does that change anything? (Besides the AP totals involved.)
