MODERATORS
The Pathfinder 2 way.
PF2 has the general Counteract mechanic:
(critical success and failures being when you roll ten or more higher or lower than the DC)
You expend a spell slot containing the same spell and roll to counter the cast spell, with varying possible degrees of success.
You can later specialize it in various interesting ways with feats, for example one that lets you spend a prepared spell from merely the same school, or with a spell that is especially thematically appropriate, or redirect the countered spell, or just eat it.
It's a whole mechanic that you can build around, it's exciting when it happens, you feel like you've earned it. It's a reward for clever play as opposed to a button that you push.
