Magic Skill vs. Magic Skill DC
Effect
: For the remainder of the round (or longer with

within range. The spell does not have to be cast against you. As the
spell is cast, you attempt to dissolve the magic holding it together.
Make a Magic Skill check against the target's Passive Magic Skill DC (4

you fail, it acts as normal. As with all defence rolls, you can only
make one check against each spell being cast.
Each projectile from a spell with the Rapid Fire metamagic counts as a separate spell that you must counter individually.
