@JeremyECrawford How does Dispel magic work on a Legendary item Such as Dawnbringer. Does it permanently become useless? is there a save dc?

Dispel magic does one thing: end spells on its target. It does nothing to other magical effects. #DnD https://t.co/2Tmqv2Hq5X

@JeremyECrawford So Dawnbringers Blade is and light effect are not considered a spell?

Dawnbringer's light is not a spell. The item does let you cast a spell: lesser restoration. #DnD https://t.co/pi90eSXVpE

@Mazoshi1987 also how does the blade interact with the darkness spell? It doesn't.

Certain powerful enchantments can be affected by Dispell magic, just not permanently. For instance, Dispel Magic’s effect on an Arcane-Locked door, object, or whatever is to negate the effect for 10 minutes only. I have a player who wants Arcane Lock on her Bag of Holding to keep her from being robbed. I chose to allow it. So why couldn’t a Cloak of invisibility have its effect negated for 10 minutes?
