I need to pin down one or more Death versions of dispel. Here are two options I'm considering:
End Spell (Death •••)
Practice: Weaving (causes something that would end eventually to instead end immediately)
Purview: Endings
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: Highest Arcanum rating of the subject spell’s caster used in casting the subject spell
Cost: 1 point of Mana
Immediately ends the subject spell. If the spell’s original caster is still alive and has not relinquished the spell, she knows that one of her spells ended. Caveats:
Practice: Making
Purview: Endings
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: Highest Arcanum rating of the subject spell’s caster used in casting the subject spell
Cost: 1 point of Mana
Identical to End Spell, but can end spells of Indefinite Duration. May also remove spells infused into an Imbued Item, rendering the item ordinary. No effect on artifacts.

Immediately ends the subject spell. If the spell’s original caster is still alive and has not relinquished the spell, she knows that one of her spells ended. Caveats:
- The caster must perceive the subject spell using Mage Sight in order to target it. This is a subtle distinction between End Spell and Prime 1 Dispel magic. Dispel Magic requires the caster to know the relevant Arcanum; the caster of End Spell could merely be gifted the necessary Mage Sight via magic. Perceiving any "facet" of a multi-Arcanum spell is sufficient for targeting it; causing it to end does not require any further understanding of it.
- Cannot end spells of Indefinite Duration, as they do not naturally end (this included Enhanced Items enhanced with Indefinite Duration spells, the spells infused into Imbued Items, and artifacts).
- Cannot end the spell of an archmaster.
