The target spell must have a casting time of or greater. spells, and spells, cannot be counterspelled, they are too fast to counter.

Both casters make a contesting roll. They both roll d20 + Bending Skill.

• Failure The target caster's spell SUCCEEDS and takes effect.
• Success The target caster's spell FAILS and has NO effect.
• Tie The target caster's spell FAILS, has NO effect, and both you and the target caster must roll on the Wild Magic Surge Table.

Anticipating your foe's incantation, you twist your hand into a tight fist, crushing the image of extinguishing a candle's flame. These synchronized motions unleash a prepped magical construct, snuffing out your opponent's spell with a swift, unseen force.

I observe the spellcaster, akin to a bird monitoring an ant. Just before the penultimate syllable, I act, inducing a familiar numbness in my hand. With a precise cutting motion, I sever their connection to summoned energies, nullifying their spell with a touch of mastery.
