COUNTERSPELL FEAT 1
Trigger: A creature casts a spell that you have prepared.You expend a prepared spell to counter the triggering creature’s casting of that same spell. You lose your spell slot as if you had cast the triggering spell. You then attempt to dispel the triggering spell (see Dispelling on page 197).
So... If you take the text as RAW, The Wizard could theoretically use a non heightened version of a spell to counter a heightened version unless the heightened spell count as another spell. I may have missed a part in the book that said it was like that, so it would be swell if that was the case if someone could point me where to read. I know it would still be quite punitive because only 2 level difference and you're already at -10 to your roll... But I wanted to know it was possible.
In the same vein, it's less likely, but does "A creature casts a spell that you have in your repertoire." consider that it need to be learned at the same level for the Sorcerer? As you would have to expand a higher level slot to cast it, I doubt it, but it's weird that we can't even just TRY to dispel with a lower level spell, even if it's disadvantageous.
Here text for reference:

Requirements: You must have an unexpended spell slot of the triggering spell’s level.You expend one of your spell slots to counter the triggering creature’s casting of a spell that you have in your repertoire.

Special: This feat has the trait corresponding to the type of spells you cast (arcane, divine, natural, or occult).
... Well... Now that I wrote all this, I realize that it's not that confusing after all... but yeah, I'll still ask. That would probably have to be tighten up for the final book.
