I am a little confused on the Counteract action. Please let me know if this is right or wrong?
Example 1) Caster 1 casts magic missile at caster 2. Caster 2 has the Counterspell feat but does NOT have magic missile prepared. They can use dispel magic to counterspell as a reaction? The DC is Caster 1's Spell DC, and the counteract roll is caster 2's spell attack roll?
Example 2) A Caster is fighting a big mean barbarian with a glowy magic sword. They can use dispel magic with a counteract check to suppress the swords magic for 10 minutes. The sword is level 12. The counteract rank is 6, the table lists a success 7 (13 to 14) - what does that mean? LOL
