Level 3, now I have Combat Reflexes!" than go "Well, I'm level 3 and I can use Combat Reflexes at a -2 penalty.. at least I have Improved Feint with no penalties... yah" only to hear literally everyone from the peasant to the imp to the peasant's horse say "So? Same here."... what's a peasant doing with a horse anyway, really?  What?Back on track... Now, if you've spotted wizards pinching bat doopie from his mojo bag again and again just before the blast of a fireball... Okay- you have a case that you've seen it before and your character should be able to figure out the deal.  Not that it matters at that point, as your fellow probably can't counterspell it, or do anything for that matter if he's "looking down the barrel," so to speak.  Nothing he couldn't do anyway (reflex save).  You might not understand the subtleties of the nuances of weaving the fabric of magic with fingers covered in bat guano (no really, think about it), but you know the signs of danger.</blockquote>
