UPDATE to the UPDATE: In a second update to Dispel Flares recently, GM Estild walked back the added SMR check. Plus, there’s now an SMR bonus if it triggers and the target has no spells. Look over his new notes about this update:

After additional consideration, we’ve removed the SMR check that was added if the attacker and target had more than a 10 level difference and was wearing spells. The flux damage (from different sphere dispels) before an attack resolves was the main concern, but that damage calculation already uses level difference as a factor. This is also in place of the original logic that would just cause the flare to not trigger at all under this same scenario.

In addition, there is now a SMR bonus if the dispel flare triggers and the target has no spells. It’s equal to (# of dispel attempts * 5).
