Spell-like ability

Spell-like ability is usually a magical trick that works exactly like a spell of the same name but costs no spell points. Instead, they are often limited in uses per rest. A few spell-like abilities are unique and are identified as such in their description.

Like spells, spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and to being dispelled by Dispel Magic. However, some spell-like abilities, such as bard songs or a light-path monk's Finishing Moves cannot be dispelled by spells such as Dispel Magic or Break Enchantment. These abilities are especially useful against creatures such as beholders which have an anti-magic field surrounding them, suppressing any buffs within that zone.
