[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 2176257, member: 7211"] Although [I]Silence[/I] could conceivably stop 9th level spells, I think its a stretch to make it sound as powerful as you do. The biggest weakness is it only prohibits Verbal spellcasting, so if you have any silent spells memorized or the appropriate feat, you can get around that. Second, only Bards and Clerics have access to it, which limits how often it will be used as a counterspell. Finally: I'm not saying I don't like the concept of Dusk counterspells, but I think most counterspells should only counter their level or lower in spell level (especially if there is no save or SR allowed). With 2 casters dedicated to stopping a heavy magical threat (say, a single Wiz15) the other 2 party members are free to wail on him. And, while it may be a full-round action (without the feat), it seems like anyone who is going to learn these spells will probably have the feat (like anyone who feints on a regular basis gets Improved Feint).
