Gem usage and performing ritual spells

pretenders don't lose their globals as they can be called back and aren't truly dead (though there then was a bug where these globals would persist even after the god was permanently vanquished). I very much doubt any immortal would lose their globals either (if killed in friendly dominion) - after all, on the battle results summary, they aren't listed as killed...

also, i would personally advise you rename any normal mage that has cast a global - otherwise I forget and send them into battle... ;p

Huh, it doesn't seem to work this way, from what I'v seenn non-immortal pretenders get their globals dispelled when killed...

About the gem loss issue : I don't think it requires to be changed, as some said you can consider that the gem cost is spent in advance, and unless you protect your mages you've to run the risk !
