Dispel Possession (Reversible)

By means of this spell, a spellcaster can temporarily free a recipient creature from the effects of any charm- type spell (or other magic-based mental dominations and controls), psionic attack or domination, or ESP or similar eavesdropping magics. If dispel possession is cast upon the body of the victim of a prior magic jar spell, the life force controlling the victim's body is driven out of the stolen body back into its jar. If the jar is not within range of the body (see the magic jar description in the Player's Handbook) when the dispel possession is cast, the life force is merely quelled for the duration of the spell, allowing the mind of the true owner of the body to reassert itself and temporarily regain control of its body.

By application of this spell, a charm is forever broken, but other mental attacks and controls resume at the spell expiration.

The material component of this spell is a teardrop from the eye of a human, elf, or half-elf.
