-Casting a global generally requires at least level 5 in a given path and several dozen gems. Every global has a minimum cost, but more gems can be used, with an upper limit of 100 times the caster's level in the relevant path. The number of gems spent over the minimum is known as the "[[overcast]]"; blood slaves count as only half a gem for overcast value. When the spell is cast, if no one else has already cast the same global, it will look for an empty slot, and 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 always attempt to dispel the previous copy.+Casting a global generally requires at least level 5 in a given path and several dozen gems.

 When a dispel attempt occurs, whether due to one global attempting to overwrite another or as a result of the ??Dispel?? spell (which simply targets a global and attempts to remove it), the two spells' overcast values are compared; every level of skill in a path over the casting requirement adds 5 to the overcast, and both sides add an exploding d20 to their result. The higher value wins; if the new global or dispel attempt wins, it will remove its target, while if the existing global wins, it stays in place. When a dispel attempt occurs, whether due to one global attempting to overwrite another or as a result of the ??Dispel?? spell (which simply targets a global and attempts to remove it), the two spells' overcast values are compared; every level of skill in a path over the casting requirement adds 5 to the overcast, and both sides add an exploding d20 to their result.
