global enchantments when there are 5 already?

[Crazy]

Here is the scenario:

There were 4 enchantments and I cast one.

Next turn. An opponent casts a global enchantment which takes effect(5 total now). I get a message saying that my enchantment is cast but when I check it is not there.

If there are 5 and an enchantment is cast, is there a dispel attempt for one of the 5 current globals or is one of the 5 randomly replaced by the new one being cast??

Thanks.

there is a dispel attempt. Usually the weakest of the globals is dispelled.

I think the sixth enchantment will challange a random enchantment unless there is an identical enchantment up allready.

The enchantment that is most empowered will win the challange. There might be some small random factor here.

Doesn't Luck scale play a role here?

Well, at least luck plays a role.

The luck scale has absolutely no effect on dispelling globals.

If I remember correctly (a forum search that I'm too lazy to do could corroborate), each spell gets 1d6 open-ended, with the high roll winning. To each roll is added the number of extra gems spent on the spell (above the normal cost - if you're using a site that decreases the cost, it starts counting from the *full* cost of the spell, not the reduced cost, so the site is useless if you want to add extra gems) and the caster's extra magic levels in the appropriate kind of magic.
