Counterspell

Level: 1
Casting Time: Free Action
Range: Same or adjacent zone
Targets: One creature in range that is the target of a spell
Duration: Instant

You warp reality to cancel an incoming spell. Roll+your spellcasting attribute. You suffer one instance of slight to this roll if the target spell is level 5, two instances if it is level 7, or three instances if it is level 9. You must make this roll before any rolls are made for the target spell.

• Complete Success: The target spell suffers two instances of disruption.
• Success: The target spell suffers one instance of disruption.
• Partial Success: The target spell suffers one instance of disruption, but you must also choose a Bad Thing from your class list.
• Failure: The target spell is not disrupted.
• Complete Failure: The target spell is not disrupted, and you must choose a Bad Thing from your class list.

If the target spell is disrupted, it suffers one instance of slight on the caster's roll, or grants one instance of favour on an attempt to Avoid Danger, for each instance of disruption. This spell only works on opposing spells; it has no effect on other hostile magical effects.
