Any word on the Duelward spell?

From what the spell implies, you cast it, and your PC has an immediate action Counterspelling enabled, for one time use. However, from using it on my Gish, it seems to not provide any counterspelling?

It is entirely possible I'm both reading the description and using the spell wrong. So, if that is the case, then help me rewrite the description to be more clear. Cheers.

This is what I could find on Epic Counterspelling.

BTW, Shadow Simulacrum and Etherealness are not on the list of spells one is able to take with the AM Spell-Like Ability (for those that made those suggestions to me in this thread).

Does anyone know, off the top of their head, if a SLA costs a spell slot (like all other HIgh Arcana?

Would it then be a sacrificed slot on the same Level as the Spell you choose? Thus, if you choose an SLA for a Level 9 spell, you sacrifice 1 use for 2 uses (thus granting an extra casting, of sorts). And lower level spells chosen give more uses for a single sacrifice, natch.

This detail and/or wording is missing from the Wiki and Forum, so I'd like to update it.

I've asked that question once too and I was told that that is exactly what happens.

Cheers, Sokolsky.

I updated the Wiki and will also do so for the Forum.

You want your SLAs to be spells you can't get as a sorcerer, but would like to use regularly.
But three extra uses of Isaac's Greater Missile Storm. How could you pass that up?
