Dispel Own Global Enchantment

[apples]

Hi,

This is another noob question.

How can I get rid of my own global enchantment other than sending the caster to his own doom ?

Cast the Astral 3 spell dispell. The chance of dispel is porportionate to the gem differance. See pages 87-88 in the manual, under global spells. It works the same way regardless of whether it's a friend or foe that cast the spell.

Yes... I've done that. Guess there is really no other way.

Suicide the caster in an enemy province works. Bad idea is it is your pretender or a unique hero, not so bad if it is a nation recruitable commander. Frankly, money is cheaper than gems...

[Folket]

What did you do? Cast Burden of Time by misstake?

Is this actually true? I thought you had to exceed the number of additional gems that the original caster used.

Yeah, you've got it right Ironhawk.

Basically (Dispel gems - 30 + d6) has to be greater than (Excess enchantment gems + d6).

As well, a global gets +5 to the resistance of dispelling for each level of magic above the minimum in the spell's primary path.

... There is one other, unreliable way to dispel. Cast more globals, and hope one of them unseats what you've cast.

You get a 1/5 chance of targeting the right global, and a 4/5 chance of not... If you've only got the one up, its worth trying. If, however, the other globals are all yours, its a likely waste of gems.

Yeah, sorry, bad use porportionality. Your math is correct, my english wasn't.

BTW, dont try the "fill the global slots" metheod with Astral Corruption.
