dispellable
Able to vanish
Dispellable describes something that can be dispelled—driven away, scattered, or made to vanish.
The word appears most often in fantasy games and fiction, where certain spells or magical effects are dispellable while others resist removal: The curse is dispellable with a simple counterspell.
Outside gaming contexts, fears, doubts, or misconceptions might be dispellable through evidence or reassurance.
