Default Re: A question about Global Enchantments

- Will my casting replace one of the existing enchantments, even if none of them is Deep Well?

Yes, if it wins the DRN roll

- Does it compare the raw number of gems used to cast the two?

No, it compares excess gems.

There is a DRN roll (2 random numbers as usual). The excess gems (if any) when the global is/was cast are added to the DRN. Base gems does not matter. Each level of the caster above the base level required for casting adds 5 to the DRN roll. If the new (DRN+gems+5*level) is higher than the (DRN+gems+5*level) for the old GE, your new GE replaces the old one. If you're not overcasting the same GE, which GE out of the 5 is picked at random.

- Do I have to cast dispel first on one of them?

No, and even if you do, you're not guaranteed that your Dispel will be cast before your GE is cast.
