Can't you cast Dispell and your global enchantment at the same time?
You could do that, but you'd be screwing yourself.

AFAIK all ritual magic, including global enchantments, are cast in a random order. If your dispel magic randomly got assigned AFTER the global enchantment casting mage what would happen is the global spell, which was randomly assigned to cast first, would attempt to knock out a random spell. Then the dispel would do it's thing, as long as it still had a target.

I'm not sure if you'd waste gems on a spell that no longer existed, but you run into the problem of the chance that the first ritual cast will the global, then it will have to fight for a random spot. If you simply cast the dispel, then cast the global on the next turn, you ensure that your global will go into the empty slot.
