Bards of the College of the Spellbreaker are masters of countering and disrupting magical energies. They are often found in areas where magic runs rampant or in places requiring containment of dangerous spells, offering protection and reinforcing defenses against hostile magic.

Level 3: Spellbreaker’s Education

You gain proficiency with Arcana, Insight, and History. You also cast the spell Counterspell, once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Level 3: Magical Antithesis

When a creature within 60 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration, subtracting the roll from the creature’s spell attack roll or spell save DC. If this causes the spell to deal no damage, you can grant one creature you can see, including yourself, temporary hit points equal to the number rolled on your Bardic Inspiration die.

Level 6: Knowledge of the Weave

You learn three spells from any spell list. One spell must be a cantrip, one must be a first level spell, and the last must be a second level spell. You always have these spells prepared, and when you gain a Bard level, you can replace one of these spells with another that meets these requirements.

Level 14: Resonant Reversal

As a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you casts a spell, you can expend a use of Bardic Inspiration to attempt to reverse the magic. Roll the Bardic Inspiration die; if the result is greater than the spell level, the creature’s spell doesn't get cast and the magically energy backlashes, dealing force damage equal to the spell level plus your Charisma modifier to attempted caster.
