Irrelevant attempt at a gotcha. Counterspell is a thing now in 5th Edition DnD which this game is modeled after, people have the right to be disappointed at the possibility of a lesser version of it.
I'm not saying don't be disappointed. By all means. We all get disappointed when we don't get things we're invested in.
I'm just saying that I don't think you're right about the necessity of counterspell, that's all.
