If you successfully strike a force effect of 3rd level or lower (like ''spiritual weapon'') or a creature affected by a force effect of 3rd level or lower (like ''mage armor''), you may attempt to dispel that single effect as if by ''greater dispel magic''. If you succeed in a caster level check against the effect's caster, the effect is dispelled. Your ''thunderlance'' remains whether you succeed on the check or not. You may only attempt to dispel a single force effect this way each time you strike with ''thunderlance'', so you must hit multiple times to dispel more than one force effect from a creature. Even force effects that cannot normally be dispelled by ''greater dispel magic'' (like ''wall of force'') can still be dispelled this way, as long as those effects have low enough effective level to be dispelled by this spell (normally only 3rd level or lower effects, but this can be changed with Heighten Spell).

==Metamagic and Thunderlance==
Some metamagic affect ''thunderlance'' differently than usual. All metamagic feats mentioned here can be applied to ''thunderlance'' and affects the spell as listed rather than with their usual effects. Other metamagic feats not mentioned affect the spell as usual. These changes apply even if the spell gains the metamagic by something other than the feat itself (such as with Sudden Metamagic or Metamagic Spell-Like Ability feats) and only apply to the benefits of the metamagic; its spell level adjustment and interactions with different classes and feats (such as the fact that spontaneous casters require full-round actions to cast spells with metamagic) remain the same.

: Adds damage of the chosen energy type to each attack equal to the untyped (or energy substituted) damage that attack would deal (including extra damage from sources such as Power Attack or Sneak Attack; a ''fire admixtured thunderlance'' that would deal 27 untyped damage normally would deal 27 untyped + 27 fire damage instead). You may further apply Energy Substitution to ''thunderlance'', either beforehand to change only the untyped damage of ''thunderlance'', or afterward to change both untyped and admixtured energy damage (so a ''thunderlance'' that normally deals 27 untyped damage would deal 54 fire if fire substituted then fire admixtured, 27 acid + 27 fire if acid substituted then fire admixtured, and 54 acid if fire admixtured then acid substituted).
