Declare I use Eldritch Blast2. Use up the action type associated with Casting a Spell and Eldritch Blast (my action)3. Use any material costs associated to casting the spell I have chosen and perform any other requirements for casting the spell.4. Finish casting the spell (this is the last step where the spell can be counterspelled because after this you are resolving the effects of having successfully cast the spell)5. Resolve the effects of the spell (in this case making x number of attacks as described in the spell effect section, say 2 attacks for this example)Making an Attack 1. Declare target of attack 12. Figure out the modifiers if any for the attack3. Resolve the attack (including damage and effects like forced movement for example)1 Declare target of attack 22.
