[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 515769, member: 4981"] Since a take 20 takes 2 minutes or 20 rounds I rule that a skill use takes 1 action, unless otherwise stated in the skill description. So the spellcraft is an action. Then loosing the spell, I assume, simulates casting the spell. For a dispell it would be casting the spell. You just gave your caster two actions as an AoO. I'd be pretty upset if the caster got this kind of AoO and I didn't. However if you make the caster burn a feat on it that could be workable maybe something like this.
