Global Enhancement Dispelling

[Barronosod]

Sorry, noob here. Just wondering how to dispel The Wraith of God.

Cast the Dispel spell, or cast Wrath yourself. If there are already 5 globals active (including the enemy Wrath), then casting any other global ritual will have a 20% chance to replace the particular global you are conncerned about.

There is a spell called dispel (enchantment 5 iirc) that takes an astral-3 mage to cast.
Research it, and set your astral-3 mage to cast it. When casting it asks how many extra gems you should use, when casting the Wrath of God, the enemy had a similar dialog, and to succeed in the dispel you have to use more extra gems than he did.

You have no astral-3?
There is an item called starshine skullcap, takes construction-6 and an astral-2 mage to produce. when you give it to an astral-2 mage, he becomes astral-3.

You have no astral-2?
Tough luck.

If you have no Astral 2 mage but you do have Nature 1 - Astral 1 mage (Lizard shaman are good for this) you can Summon Couatl at Conjuration 7 or something. It costs 40 nature gems and is Nature 3, Astral 3, Holy 3 mage.

Also, Robe of the Magic raises all the magics its wielder has by one, so you could try that if you have Astral 1 mage... Blood 4, Air 4 and Construction 6.

Or then 30 gems for Empowering Astral 1 mage to Astral 2.

Globals also disappear if the mage that cast it dies. There might be bug that leaves it in place if he isn't killed but vanishes, happens only if you kill that nation by preaching it out. If you have assasins, use them. Other good ways are Seeking Arrows, Earth Attacks, Vengeance of the Dead if he gets kills from Wrathful Skies and some more...

Just realized that there is one summonable assasin: Succubus! So... If you can summon one, and she manages to seduce that mage, you either get the control of Wrathful Skies or a mage that can overwrite Wrathful Skies with your own Version...

Unless the enemy caster was a pretender. Pretenders are immune to seduction.

I know that, look at the wording. But even in that case, an assasination attempt would happen... But pretenders generally are not that easy to kill, so the odds are that wouldn't work.

Anyway, that might have gotten someone confused. Thank you for reminding!
