Counter Spells
There is no single spell which may be used to dispell another caster's magics. Istead, a spell caster must use a counterspell to dispell an opponents's magics. A number of mthods may be used to counter another caster's spells, as follows:
- Spells of Opposite Nature:
Spells of directly opposite nature may always be used to counter an opponent's magics. Examples of "opposite nature spells" are Light/Darkness, Haste/Slow, Dwindle/Enlarge, Lock/Knock, Energy/Negative Energy, ect.
- Spells of Conflicting Nature:
Spells of conflicting (but not opposite) nature should have at least a 50/50 chance of acting as a counterspell. For example, a Reverse Gravity spell cast upon a wizard who is employing a Flight spell is likely to cause the flyer to crash. The exact chance of success for any such spell to function as a counterspell is up to the Game Judge to decide, based on his or her appraisal of the spells being employed.
- Reverse Spells:
Any Spell may be cast in reverse, thereby allowing the caster to employ it as a counterspell. For example, a caster may dispell a Ring of Fire by casting the same spell in reverse.
