I totally agree with Shostak. Even the example of removing a weapon/armor enchantment says it will remove 1 point only. See ITL 166, "and will subtract
one damage, defense, or DX bonus from an item of weapon or armor under the Enchant Weapons/Armor spell". And ITL 28, "but the bonuses on a multiply-enchanted object must be removed one at a time."

The hard part is when there are multiple enchantments to remove and the wizard did not do Analyze Magic/Reveal Magic... so how does he know which one to remove. Does he get a choice or just randomly choose one. For example, the foe has Blur and Stone Flesh on himself and the casting wizard clearly knows about Blur but maybe not about Stone Flesh. If the wizard is casting it for a specific purpose, say specifically to get rid of a flesh hardening, even without knowledge, I would allow it. But what then if it was only Blur? It just gets weird to cast a general remove spell when there may be none to several unknown targets.

Good thing this never comes up since RTS is never used in combat.
