Here they are, the counterspells, including counterspell itself.
Counterspell
Abjuration (Counter)
Level: Blue 4, Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: Ready action
Range: Medium (100' + 10' / level)
Target: A spell
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You must ready an action to use this spell. When cast, counterspell stops another caster's spell in midcasting as its name implies. Counterspell has no effect on spells or effects that are already in place – it only stops spells in casting.
Counterspell targets spells, not creatures, hence spell resistance never applies to it. The spell’s caster or source must be in range though.
Counterspell cannot target the activated abilities of magical items or the spell-like abilities of creatures.
Read that spell carefully. Many of the remaining spells in this post are based on it.

Components: V, S, Spell Point
