[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 90274, member: 994"] [b]Well...[/b] I believe we tried to answer this up above. The differences between the example in the D&D FAQ and the questions here are mostly confined to the differences in the Range of the spells involved. Both Haste and Slow can affect a target that is within Close Range, so you don't have to be right next to your target to "counter and dispel" it's opposite. However, all the spells in this discussion have a Range of Touch and my friend pointed out to me a passage in the Counterspelling section of the PHB that said all counterspelling had to be done within the normal range of the spell, ie. Touch. For Daylight to successfully counter or dispel Deeper Darkness (or vice versa) you must cast it and touch the affected item, hence the reason why AoOs might come into play, either because you casted right next to your opponent (and didn't do it by Casting Defensively) or because you are trying to touch a specific worn item (and not just touch your opponent anywhere, which would be much easier to do).
