Counterspell (MTAw)

Counterspell is a one-dot Attainment in Mage: The Awakening.

Background

Technically a collection of ten different Attainments, learning an Arcanum’s counterspell is a natural result of learning the most basic fundaments of that Arcanum. This Attainment permits the Mage to counter a rival Willworker’s spell, provided it falls under the relevant Arcanum. This induces a Clash of Wills — the caster’s Gnosis + Arcanum versus the countering Mage’s Gnosis + Arcanum.

In order to counter in time, the Mage must be using active Mage Sight. Relying on peripheral Mage Sight will see the Mage act too late.
