''Evocations make the best counterspells.''

You can initiate this maneuver whenever you would make an attack against a spellcaster in the process of casting a spell, as long as that attack is not part of another maneuver or a full attack. You can initiate this maneuver as part of an attack of opportunity or as a standard action. Make a single melee attack. If it connects, the attack does normal damage, but it is considered to have dealt twice as much damage as it actually did for the purpose of determining the [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] DC to avoid losing a spell, power, or other such ability.
