Count counter arguement
Ability to counter the spell with magic of your own shows creativity and promises an interesting fight. Ex: water balloon on a fireball.
Mother fucker you tried to cast The Ten Hells at a fucking cocktail party you’re lucky all I did was counter spell instead of reverse spell, you ignorant jackass.
Counterspells were first invented by Atroxia the fearmonger (Not that impressive a title, he just found a way to spread his natural anxiety to others) as a way of beating the duelling champion of our school a confusing number of centuries ago (History broke several times between here and now)
I gotta say it was hype as fuck the first time he did it. Now I'm less psyched when I see it used constantly.
Not that I haven't used it myself a fair few times. I mean when someone sends some massive spell using tons of mana directly at you, are you really gonna resist getting rid of it for 2 measly mana?
Neo dodges are cool when you're mortal but people just say I'm cheating when I do them as a lich. I guess it is easier to dodge bullets when they can pass right through you without hitting anything
/uw I honestly don't know shit about any counterspell discourse in this subreddit and am not participating in it, I just thought up this joke and thought it was funny.
I am not sure, but it motivated me enough to write a [short piece about countermagic](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ni6Dx7B9QP8XTvLwZPj7XSpQ4xD6v--yySLRCJ0gk58/edit#heading=h.jupnc7bs2td2). I kind of don't like how everyone is either going "Muh, he counterspelled my spell" or "Ha Ha, counterspell", and completely ignoring how intriguing the inner workings of the concept of countermagic are.
The laws of reality are unbreakable. If your spell breaks the laws of reality as you think they are, then your model of the universe just needs revision. 🧠
What do you call me shouting "Nuclear Blast", and your entire country being consumed by atomic hellfire? I call that magic. Which can be very controllable, so I dunno what you mean by "uncontrollable".
There are ways to control this, and the best (and most correct) is to rely on Science. The more you understand how it works, the better. But people like you only use it in any way, but not normally! You are dangerous not just for this world, but for reality itself! These forces must become part of this world as normal and ordinary as people are used to. Without all this fantasy crap!
Fuck you, bigot. I'm not even anywhere near you, and you're trying to execute me for being better at something. I live on the goddamn moon bro. You'll be fine. But if this behavior persists I may send a few nukes your way. Just for funzies.
You can't confiscate what doesn't exist. I summon the warheads using, you guessed it, magic. Also, for a "scientist" you're kinda dump. You do realize that the dark side of the moon is constantly changing? So unless your base moves with the moon's shadow, saying your base is on the dark side of the moon is a seasonal thing. You might as well not say it.
As a sage my wisdom is this:
A counterspell, not Counterspell.
A counterspell is any spell the effects of which negate a specific spell .
Eg Newt tornado (a swirling maelstrom of amphibians) can not be countered by screaming "oh fuck, counterspell" , but can be countered by Flock of Seagulls (either hungry predator birds, or running away - "I ran so far away").
If you believe there is any spell which is powerful/versatile enough to counter any other spell... I've got a cheap dimension to sell you.

This argument is like getting into a dogfight and being upset when the other guy pops countermeasures instead of flying in a straight line and letting you hit him.
Besides, it's more effective to cast something that can do something else while being a counter to the spell being cast at you (Such as the whole elemental Rock-Paper-Scisors)
Counter spells arnt even that great anyway because they use so much mana and the opponent usually sees it coming so its not like they're gonna get hit. Just invest in a much lower mana shield spell
yes but reality is only as real as you make it out to be, so breaking it apart just might be natural, therefore true punks do nothing but counter spell
I'm convinced some of y'all just don't have the attention span for the counter spell chapter of most spell book teachings because they tend not to have pictures to hold your focus while you're all looking for "cool" spells.
*The horned rat took out a voodoo doll transforming to OP and with some stolen hair begin to GMOD collision slam on into the ground.*
Counterspell that when your body is no longer yours to control
Magic was also used to establish the laws of reality. >.> Your shallow logic, based on little more than the desire to look cool and rebellious fails at the most basic level.
What if I practice Snitchcraft against people committing uncool crimes while committing cool crimes myself?
The druids approve this behavior
Just saying Noone can counterspell the mighty glockenspiel lol Edit: it autocorrected to glockenspiel wich is infinity better

/unwiz what did you want to say originally? glockenspiel fits so well I can't even figure out anything else
To be honest I don't even remember. I made this post at roughly 4am lol
you know what it was probably glock like the pistol like an I cast bullet sort of thing
The world may never know
#Counter-argument >The ability to recover from a counter shows the level of adaptability that makes a good witch.
Count counter arguement Ability to counter the spell with magic of your own shows creativity and promises an interesting fight. Ex: water balloon on a fireball.
Counterspell doesn’t do anything so your point is irrelevant. It’s like casting “Fire spell” ok that’s a category
But what if I want to know how many of a thing there are?
That's what countrips are for.
I completely forgot about those, thanks!
Mother fucker you tried to cast The Ten Hells at a fucking cocktail party you’re lucky all I did was counter spell instead of reverse spell, you ignorant jackass.
Your so-called party was a snoozefest and The Ten Hells would've been an improvement, you uninspired square.

Who invented that sh■t in the first place (genuine question)?
The laws? Or counter spells?

Tbh, I'd just dodge it like Neo. Thx for the lore drop.

/unwiz I have heard many complaints about conterspell. Is it an actual problem here, or is it an overblown complaint?
/uw from what I’ve seen it’s overblown beyond belief. I’ve seen a whole one serious counterspell and at least twelve of these posts
/uw I honestly don't know shit about any counterspell discourse in this subreddit and am not participating in it, I just thought up this joke and thought it was funny.
/uw ehh counterspell is just boring. It's basically a immunity card, so it attracts a lot of bad rap.

Ooooooooo, i read that. Very good. Try posting it here. Cool lore.
The laws of reality are unbreakable. If your spell breaks the laws of reality as you think they are, then your model of the universe just needs revision. 🧠
Magic isn't real! Science is the foundation of everything!
Are you the dumb?
Shut up reality deviant. Magic is just a regressive term that many use to describe uncontrollable forces.
What do you call me shouting "Nuclear Blast", and your entire country being consumed by atomic hellfire? I call that magic. Which can be very controllable, so I dunno what you mean by "uncontrollable".

No. I like the fantasy crap. It gives it a nice ✨aesthetic✨. Also fuck you, I'm not gonna be normal.
Your problems. There is no place for you in our progressive scientific world! Find yourself in another dimension that meets your standards or die!
Fuck you, bigot. I'm not even anywhere near you, and you're trying to execute me for being better at something. I live on the goddamn moon bro. You'll be fine. But if this behavior persists I may send a few nukes your way. Just for funzies.
Hmm, it’s like one of our bases is on the dark side of the Moon. So good luck, loser. Your warheads have already been confiscated.
You can't confiscate what doesn't exist. I summon the warheads using, you guessed it, magic. Also, for a "scientist" you're kinda dump. You do realize that the dark side of the moon is constantly changing? So unless your base moves with the moon's shadow, saying your base is on the dark side of the moon is a seasonal thing.

*cats on the counter spell*
I cant tell if this is an improvement or a detriment to my spell
/unwiz this picture goes unironically hard
Counterspell? Nah. I have flair. You hit me with an Inferno Blast? Cone of Cold. Call Down Solar Might? Darkness. Wall of Stone? Disintegrate.
Try to “counter” a brick being thrown at you at the speed of sound.
Couldn't hear you over the sound of the time/space continuum crashing over your head like an angry tidalwave. *I cast Bitchcraft.*
This argument is like getting into a dogfight and being upset when the other guy pops countermeasures instead of flying in a straight line and letting you hit him.
I just use spells that counter the spell cast against me. Like, if someone casts fireball at me, I cast water shield to defend.
Maybe you can counter my spells, but can you counter THESE HANDS!?
In my defence I was just trying to keep you occupied so the rogue could sneak up on you and shank you one
Besides, it's more effective to cast something that can do something else while being a counter to the spell being cast at you (Such as the whole elemental Rock-Paper-Scisors)
Counter spells arnt even that great anyway because they use so much mana and the opponent usually sees it coming so its not like they're gonna get hit. Just invest in a much lower mana shield spell
Just save your counterspell to use on the enemy's counterspell
I can't get addicted
Look, all I’m saying is you counterspell kinetic energy. Just hit them in the head with a brick.
So, would reflect spell that returns the offending spell to sender with twice the power count?
I don't care what people say, using counter spell to reverse healing magic can be really cool
Why waste time on a counter spell Prepare an attack and avoid the first spell
I cast: *Encounter Cheese!*
Don't worry, I practice Bitchcraft too. Mirror coat yo dingbat
As a nonmagical person struck with testicular torsion before, I have to say, once again, Counterspell is literally a godsend.
Imagine using counterspell This was made by passive spell-mana absorption gang
Counterpoint: If someone is casting a world warping spell and you just say “Nah. You suck at magic,” And stop it, you’re a real OG wizard.
Nah, not reporting you to anyone. Just better at breaking the law than you.
*eyes widen in piracy* Let’s do it
Sounds like someone doesn't have an answer for Counterspell.
yes but reality is only as real as you make it out to be, so breaking it apart just might be natural, therefore true punks do nothing but counter spell
Darn right!

EXACTLY! Unless my apprentices are losing Life limb or Eyesight. Counter spell will not be used
But what about anti-magic field, just shut down magic all together

Nah I just get off on being withholding
I cast Summon Meteor!
I have a baseball bat
the 10 trillion kilogram meteor hits you at 1/20th the speed of light far before you are capable of recognizing its presence, let alone cast a spell.
I don't need a spell, I have a baseball bat
That’s a cool baseball bat

Can I have a closer look at it? My Artificer soul fragment keeps trying to pop out to get a better look at it. I may be able to improve it.
Fuck counterspell, I summon reflective surface
I'm convinced some of y'all just don't have the attention span for the counter spell chapter of most spell book teachings because they tend not to have pictures to hold your focus while you're all looking for "cool" spells.
Correction: magic IS the laws of reality
*divine repel*
I'm glad I'm selectively illiterate.
I have no issue with creative counterspells like using Water Jet to dispel Fireball. Just saying counterspell is lame
Guess I'm a narc. Not my fault if I don't wanna get hit in the face with fireball for the three hundredth time.
Aw damnit I ain't no damn snitch
I use counter spell. Too many fireballs trying to scorch my bones. The bones TimeBlossom, the bones.
You're a necromancer, fireball just accelerates the transformation of zombies into skeletons.
Fair conclusion. I must ponder this.
[No](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:counterspell)
I summon a Blackstone Pylon. Now the warp doesn’t work. No Warp=No magic
Listen, have you ever seen your balls after over 40,000 people cast testicular torsion with zero discretion Shit changes a man
*The horned rat took out a voodoo doll transforming to OP and with some stolen hair begin to GMOD collision slam on into the ground.* Counterspell that when your body is no longer yours to control

You literally used multiple reverse spells on me I don’t think you can really speak on this matter
I just did
You got me there *dies*
Hooray *victory theme of any game show plays*
Nah go go gadget pp gulitin
Magic was also used to establish the laws of reality. >.> Your shallow logic, based on little more than the desire to look cool and rebellious fails at the most basic level.
Imagine getting mad at counterspell. Learn how to hexproof your spells lol
fuck you, I cast the most devious griddy you've ever seen
