As the adept spied on the enemy camp below, the enemy wizard couldn't figure out why every divination spell he cast, to spy on the pesky adventurers who had been hindering his work recently, failed without effect.
When a foe within Medium range of you begins to cast a spell, you may initiate this counter in order to attempt a counterspell. You need not identify the spell, but you must succeed at an Initiator Level check (1d20 + your initiator level, max +10) versus a DC equal to 15 + the spell's level. If you succeed, the spell is countered and fizzles with no effect, as normal for counterspelling. If you fail, the spell take effect normally. This otherwise functions as Lesser Counterweave.

Targets are entitled a Reflex save to avoid the effect; The DC for this save is equal to 10 + the level of the Strike used + your Intelligence modifier. Otherwise, targets struck are subject to all effects of the strike, such as energy damage, dispelling and the like.

However, the trike loses 1 effective initiator level for each target it has struck - Thus the second target is struck be a version of the Strike at -1 IL, the second at -2, and so on.
You can initially affect only one additional target. You can affect two additional targets at initiator level 10, three at initiator level 15, and four additional targets at initiator level 20.

When you learn this Maneuver, you choose a single 1st-level spell from any class list and add it to your spellbook. You can add other spells to your spellbook in the same manner as a Wizard, but only spells of 1st level or lower until you learn a higher grade of Spellstrike. For the purposes of spells learned in this manner, you use your initiator level in place of caster level.
When you ready this maneuver, you choose to "prepare" a single spell of 1st level or lower you know from your Veiled Knight spellbook. If the spell is an attack spell (Meaning a spell that harms or impedes another creature in any fashion, such as Magic Missile), the maneuver is readied as a Strike. Otherwise, the spell is readied as a Boost, and can only target yourself. The maneuver gains any descriptors the spell possesses.
If the spell is a Strike, the initiation time is the same as the casting time for the spell, or a standard action, whichever is higher.
If the spell is a Boost, it is a swift action, as normal for a boost. However, unless the effect is instantaneous (Such as Cure Light Wounds), the spell only lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
In order to successfully initiate the spell, you must attempt a Spellcraft check. The DC is equal to 11 + your Initiator level. Regardless of success, the maneuver is expended and must be recovered before you can try again. You automatically fail this check if you are Fatigued, and your Armor Check Penalty applies to this check.
If you are successful, the spell goes off normally. However, the spell momentarily drains your vitality, causing you to become Fatigued for 1 round and reducing your initiator level by 1 for 1 minute.

As you concentrate on your enemy's movements and plan your next move, the world around you seems to slow down
When you enter this stance, you change time relative to yourself. While you maintain this, your movement speed is increased by 30ft, and you gain a +1 bonus on Reflex saves and as a Dodge bonus to Armor Class per 4 initiator levels. Additionally, when you make a full attack, you may choose to either 1) Make an additional attack at your highest Base Attack Bonus, as per the Haste spell, which of course in turn affect abilities such as the Time Stands Still strike, or 2) Initiate one Strike you know that ordinarily requires one Standard action or less to initiate, in place of one of your normal attacks that round.
Thus, a Mystblade with BAB +12 who used this stance could either add a fourth attack, making his attack sequence +12/+12/+7/+2, or exchange one of his normal three attacks for a Standard strike he knows, perhaps replacing his first attack with his Lesser Energy Strike.
This doesn't stack with the Haste spell, but at the DM's discretion can function as the Haste spell for the purposes of prerequisites and abilities, such as the Swiftblade prestige class.

The Druid's flame blade turns to empty smoke in his hand as the weapon clashes with your own.
When you initiate this strike, you make one melee attack. If the attack is successful, the target is subject to an effect identical to a targeted Dispel Magic, except that the check is an Initiator Level check (1d20 + your initiator level, max +10).
If you know at least one 4th-level Psychic Arrow strike, this maneuver becomes X-Discipline and you can use it with a bow, centering an equivalent Area Dispel on the target hit or square where the arrow landed.
