Clever Counterspell Feat 12

Wizard​
Source Pathfinder Core Rulebook
Prerequisites Counterspell, Quick Recognition

You creatively apply your prepared spells to Counterspell a much wider variety of your opponents' magic. Instead of being able to counter a foe's spell with Counterspell only if you have that same spell prepared, you can use Counterspell as long as you have the spell the foe is casting in your spellbook.

When you use Counterspell in this way, the prepared spell you expend must share a trait other than its tradition with the triggering spell.

At the GM's discretion, you can instead use a spell that has an opposing trait or that otherwise logically would counter the triggering spell (such as using a cold or water spell to counter fireball or using remove fear to counter a fear spell).

Regardless of what spell you expend, you take a -2 penalty to your counteract check, though the GM can waive this penalty if the expended spell is especially appropriate.
