Description This spell must be cast at any time during, or immediately after, the casting of the spell to be countered (the “hostile spell”).


It can be used to counter any one lesser or greater spell cast against the target.

The target must be within range of the caster of the Greater Countermagic, even if the hostile caster is not.

For reference, the vocals for any greater spell always begin with the power indicator “By my power”, followed by the sphere indicator (e.g. “By the powers of the Elements”).

If the indicated spell is a mass spell, it is only countered for one target.

Greater Countermagic cannot be used to counter another Countermagic or Greater Countermagic spell.
