Remove magic & dispel magic

So there's this major oversight concerning spellcasting scripts and assigned spells.
There's a large variety of spellcasting scripts and many of them instruct the spellcaster to use dispel magic... the problem is that only a few spellcasters have this spell memorized, but many of them do have REMOVE magic memorized. Since all spellcasting scripts tell them to use dispel magic, they naturally can't cast remove magic.
I'd argue it's an oversight since they are clearly meant to cast it, but can't due to the script.
Yes, it would change combat against many wizards, but likewise fixing 3/2 APR to actually give 3/2 APR changed combat against creatures with 3/2 APR.
Besides, they decided to change Brage's sword (which is perfectly fine because it was already in his inventory) and gave Amarande (the Archdruid) a new neat magical weapon, so I don't think this should be an issue.

She has remove magic memorized, but the script (mage10b) instructs her to cast dispel magic.
