For the purposes of determining the magic point value of a monster, create fireminions is listed as an example of a magic generating SAI. What about dispel magic? Any others?

Any SAI that can generate magic results. Therefore Dispel magic does not count as it does not generate any results..just dispells all magic aimed at this unit, its army or terrain.
Cantrips count as 2 points when calculating magic value as they can generate magic results at any time. I believe each create fireminions counts as 2pts.As far as I know, only Cantrips, Create fireminions, and normal magic icons count toward the magic value of a unit or item.Hope this helps, Den

From the rules:

Note: Components with at least one magic icon have a magic point value equal to their health. Exception: the Undead rare light magic troop (Vampire), even though it is a 3-health unit, has a magic point value of 2 because it only has one face with a magic icon. Monsters and artifacts are covered under the following special rule. If a monster or artifact has a magic icon or Cantrip SAI, it does not necessarily count as having a magic point value of 4. When determining the magic point value of a monster or artifact, each face with a normal magic icon counts as one point and each face with a Cantrip, Create Fireminions, or other potentially magic-generating SAI counts as two points. The magic point value of a monster or artifact is the sum of these values, up to a total of four points.

I think they are referring to possible future SAIs when they say "other potentially magic generating SAI.
