Has anyone seen RTS used to remove a Weapon or Armor enchantment? See ITL 28 & 166. That is, to reduce a magic sword of +2 DX to a +1 DX, etc. Seems like you are ruining your spoils so I doubt most would do this, but a fun little quirk intentionally in the rules.
You'd have to know the weapon or armor is enchanted, which is not so common for a simple weapon enchantment.

This raises a question I hadn't thought of. RTS is itself a thrown spell, so it targets a person or object. Does it remove EVERY thrown spell on the person or object? (Aside from Weapon/Armor enchantments, I don't know any enchantments that would be removed using RTS offhand, but other thrown spells might be cast on the object. And a person might have a slew of thrown spells affecting him.)

My interpretation is that if the spell succeeds, every thrown spell is removed.
