Accepted Answer

No, 5E Dispel Magic only stops the effect of a spell without interrupting the casting of a spell.

Question 2

2. Can Dispel Magic dispel Wild Shape?

Question 3

Question 4

4. Can I use Dispel Magic on an Invisible creature?

Accepted Answer

Dispel Magic targets magical effects instead of creatures, so as long as you can perceive the magical effect behind the invisibility (like Detect Magic), you can target the effect.

Question 5

5. Does dispel Magic remove concentration?

Accepted Answer

The text of Dispel Magic states that it ends a spell on a target, and since the spell effect isn't on the caster, the spell that the caster is concentrating on will not end. Similarly, concentration spells will not end if the target happens to move out of range.
