I'm guessing that ink of nullification and the quill of extraction might make the dispels, what I'm not sure about is if they will use the creature/item/life magic glyphs or if there will be special glyphs. --Tlosk 23:30, 10 September 2008 (CDT)
By the way, it looks like they tweaked the experience earned from skill checks for level 8 spells. Normally if you passed a skill check of, say, 252, you'd earn 252 xp into that skill, and 25 xp (10%) into your unused experience. When I cast a level 8 life protection spell, though (skill check of 455), I earn 1001 into the skill, and 91 to unassigned.
In fact, they may have reduced the xp earned for lower level skill checks too...
By the way, the AC+ decal plugin shows the skill checks and experience earned.

"Success rate with skill buffed to 435 was about 33%." Could you expand on what this refers to, is this able to use the scroll? Is the scroll lost if fails? --Tlosk 05:27, 1 September 2008 (CDT)
Also, the devs have said in the release notes that there are no level 8 vulns, imperil, or defender. Those spells are not possible to learn.
