You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. When you do, blue aura shoots from your finger with a high-pitched ring and strikes your target.
You make a spellcasting check contested by the target's spellcasting check. If you win the contest, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.
You have Advantage if your counterspell is cast at a higher rank than the spell it is countering. The target has Advantage if its spell is cast at a rank higher than your counterspell.

At higher ranks: When you cast this spell as a spell of 4th rank or higher, you have a higher chance of gaining Advantage on your contested spellcasting check.
