I'm a bit foggy on how easy/hard it is to dispel or actively counter hostile magic cast at you in the HQ paradigm.

Magic resistance, as such, is quite clearly explained as being based on the highest magical ability of the character. This is remeniscient of the POW stat in the RQ days.

But what if you wish to stop a spell/feat/spirit/talent aimed at your friend? Do you need a specialiced spell/feat/spirit/talent yourself, or can everybody do this? What about dispeling an existing magic effect. What does an Orlanthi or Ernalda devotee to attempt it?
