[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 7919122, member: 31465"] This is Counterspell from Dungeon World, and it is a mid level class ability of the Summoner/Abjurer specialty class. It's not something just anyone can "pick" as a third level spell, and the summoner has many, many other options to choose from, this is just one of them. ⃞ [B]Counterspell [/B][I]When you attempt to counter an arcane spell that will otherwise affect you, stake one of your prepared spells on the defense and roll+INT.
