Thompson | For further evidence in favor of this, if death ward could save a creature from dispelling, you'd have to argue that a chair animated using animate objects could be saved from dispelling by death ward. And since dispel magic simply ends the spell early, you'd also have to argue that the chair would be saved from "dying" when the spell ends after its normal duration, giving you permanent control over an animated chair. | |

Moreover, constructs muddy the waters because some of them have a trait that specifically addresses dispel magic. And finally, counterspell is not even eligible to be a contingent spell. | |
