Counterspell

Description

You try to interrupt the target's spellcasting by using the same skill.\nYou use this action by first spending a reaction on a Spellcraft action to identify the spell being cast. If you successfully identify the spell, and you know the same spell or are trained in the same skill that the caster is using to cast the spell, you can spend another reaction to make a simple opposed skill check against the caster spellcasting check. You may spend any amount of PP (up to your skill level) and add them to your check.\nA different kind of counterspelling can be used to co-opt an existing spell that someone else is maintaining through concentration. Note that this is an active action and not a reaction. First, you perform an active Spellcraft (Identify Supernatural Effect) action, with a concentrating spellcaster as the target. If you successfully identify the spell, and you know the same spell or are trained in the same skill that the caster used to cast the spell, you can make a simple opposed skill check against the caster's spellcasting check. You may spend any amount of PP (up to your skill level) and add them to your check. If you win the opposed check, you co-opt the spell and can control it for as long as you maintain concentration.
