\emph{3rd-level abjuration}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  \textbf{Casting Time:} 1 reaction, which you take when you see a
  creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell
\item
  \textbf{Range:} 60 feet
\item
  \textbf{Components:} S
\item
  \textbf{Duration:} Instantaneous
\end{itemize}

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell.
If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell
fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or
higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC
equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the creature's spell fails
and has no effect.

\textbf{At Higher Levels:} When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level
is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.
