When Expert Dispel is cast, everything on the battlefield belonging to a hero without 
Sphere of Permanence is affected. This includes ALL troops (including war machines), objects created by spells (e.g.
Force Field), corpses on the battlefield and creatures with magic immunity (e.g. 
Black Dragons). This means that ONLY Sphere of Permanence can provide immunity to Dispel, though in most cases, Dispel cast on corpses or creatures with magic immunity doesn't have any effect.
- For example, Dispel can be used to remove the effect of
Ghost Dragon's Aging from 
Gold Dragons.
Expert Dispel also removes 
Fire Walls, Force Fields, 
Land Mines and 
Quicksands from the battlefield. (with the exception of Quicksand caused by the Dunes magical terrain)
Spells/Abilities unaffected by Dispel:

User Commentary
Having Expert Water Magic, use Dispel carefully as it may remove positive spells from your troops or negative spells from the enemies. For example, if you have cast Blind on the only remaining enemy stack so as to resurrect or animate your killed units, and some of your troops have negative spells on it, try not to use mass Dispel, otherwise the enemy may deliberately kill that remaining stack, disallowing you to raise your slain warriors (instead, mass Cure will be useful). If your enemy has cast positive spells, but, for example, you have Bless on a unit with big damage range (Harpy Hags, Dragon Flies, Storm Elementals), think carefully whether to cast Dispel or not.
