 Every global has a minimum cost, but more gems can be spent over this minimum in order to 'reinforce' the global and protect it from being dispelled. The total number of gems that can be spent on a global is 100 × the caster's level in the global's magic path. Any skill level the caster has in the spell's path over the casting requirement also reinforces the spell's strength. Every global has a minimum cost, but more gems can be spent over this minimum in order to 'reinforce' the global and protect it from being dispelled.

-This "overcast" value is then equal to 1 × excess gems spent + 5 × caster's excess skill in spell's path. For example, an {{path>E7}} mage casting ??Earth Blood Deep Well?? with {{gems>90E}} would provide an overcast value of 5 + 10 = 15 (excess gems + excess paths).+This "overcast" value is then equal to 1 × excess gems spent + 5 × caster's excess skill in spell's path.

 Units with the [[grand communicant]] ability can use the "Grand Communion" order to assist with the casting of a ritual in the same province. The overcast value increases for every point of skill the grand communicants have in the path of the ritual, equivalent to adding gems to the overcast. Units with the [[grand communicant]] ability can use the "Grand Communion" order to assist with the casting of a ritual in the same province.

 +An estimate of the overcast value of a global can be found by casting the Thaumaturgy 9 ??Arcane Analysis?? spell.
  
 When a global is cast, it checks whether the same global has already been cast, and if there is a free global slot available. If both conditions are met, it is cast as normal. If no empty slots exist, it will pick a preexisting global at random and attempt to dispel it. If the same global is already up, it will attempt to dispel the previous copy. When a global is cast, it checks whether the same global has already been cast, and if there is a free global slot available.

 Globals can be dispelled in a number of ways: Globals can be dispelled in a number of ways:
-  * The ??Dispel?? spell targets a specific global and attempts to take it down. The mechanics for this spell are the same as one global attempting to overwrite another, so the higher the Dispel overcast, the more likely it is for the global in question to be dispelled.+  * The ??Dispel?? spell targets a specific global and attempts to take it down. The mechanics for this spell are the same as one global attempting to overwrite another, so the higher the Dispel overcast, the more likely it is for the global in question to be dispelled. The ??Disenchantment?? spell is similar, but if it does not manage to overcome the chosen global it still reduces the overcast value of that global by half the overcast put into Disenchantment.
   * The Elemental Oppositions spells: ??Elemental Opposition of Fire??, ??Elemental Opposition of Water??, ??Elemental Opposition of Air??, and ??Elemental Opposition of Earth??. These all unlock at Evocation 7 and require level 5 in their respective path and a minimum of 60 gems to cast. Unlike Dispel, the overcast value of these spells is compared against every global cast using the path being elementally opposed. Thus, if ??Elemental Opposition of Earth?? is cast, it would attempt to dispel ??Earth Blood Deep Well??, ??Riches from Beneath??, ??Forge of the Ancients?? etc. if these were active.   * The Elemental Oppositions spells: ??Elemental Opposition of Fire??, ??Elemental Opposition of Water??, ??Elemental Opposition of Air??, and ??Elemental Opposition of Earth??.
