    yeah, wild finding out that was a thing. at least pathfinder had other weird shit you could do with dispel magic, like steal their spells or inflict magical backlash damage.

    I hope I never play a game where every wizard has to have a finger on the “save me from scary magic” button. no, fuck it. we ball in here

      In older DnD editions it was more complex and honestly cooler. You had to expend a spell to counterspell, usually the same spell the enemy was trying to cast or a spell that negated their spell. For example you could cast Haste to counterspell a Slow spell or a Cure Wounds spell to negate an Inflict Wounds one. It made it more involved than: snap and your spell fails.
