From your fingertips springs a thin line of bright red light that can negate any of several magical or mundane hazards.
Each version of this spell can target one of the hazards described below and "correct" it in the manner described.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, this spell affects
magical and mundane hazards of the indicated type equally.
For example, a ruby ray of reversal can eliminate the webs of a monstrous spider or the effect of a web spell.

  • Any trap targeted by the ray is sprung.

This version of the spell may have adverse effects on creatures standing within a trap’s area.
You must be aware of a trap to cast ruby ray of reversal on it.
  • The spell unties knots and causes chains, manacles, and similar restraining devices to fall away.

Entangle and similar magical effects are dispelled.
Doors (or chests, drawers, cabinets, and so on) that are locked, barred, or under the effect of an arcane lock spell are opened.
  • A hole with a radius of up to 1 foot is created in a wall of force, forcecage, or similar spell or effect.

  • A magic jar spell is dispelled if a ruby ray of reversal targets the crystal holding the caster’s soul.
