Counterspell

Required	Magical Disruption 2
Range	Rank x 10 yards
Area	One Spell
Duration	Instant
Casting	Verbal, Somatic
Cast Action	Readied Action
Mana Cost	1 Mana per Rank of the targeted Enchantment + 1
Effect	The caster prepares a Readied Action, using her highest Casting roll (Casting Stat + Casting Skill Rank + Highest Source) in an attempt to negate an incoming spell. This requires a number of successes equal to the Rank of the target enchantment + 1. Bonuses that affect spellcasting (e.g. Focus bonus, Empowered Spellcasting) may be applied to this roll. When successful, the targeted spell is cancelled before it can take effect, however the opposing caster must still pay the mana. On a failure, the spell is unaffected.
