Redirecting another's spell

[Bernd]

Hey!

Would you allow someone to redirect a spell from another wizard with the counterspell roll or does the targeted character has to use another exchange to redirect it?

Example:
Harry is targeted by an entropy curse... again. He feels the curse coming while he fights some RCVs. He decides to redirect the curse to one of his opponents.

Case 1: He makes his Lore roll and has a success on his controll roll, so the spell is redirected (of curse the RCV might have a resisting roll).

Case 2: He makes his Lore roll and has a success on his controll roll. During his next exchange he can use the power of the curse like described under "Redirecting Spell Energy" on page 260.

Which case should it be?

I'd probably go with case 2. Counterspell is exactly that, it's just countering the incoming energy. Redirecting that energy at a specific target should always require more effort than a simple counterspell roll.

Thanks!

The reason I asked was, because in the book it says:

Counterspelling is basically an attack against the energy of the spell itself - you summon up energy of your own to disrupt or redirect the energy holding the spell together.
