Wizard A casts mislead and sends their double forth to feign casting fireball. Wizard B, seeing this, says, "I cast counterspell!" Has A successfully baited B into wasting a 3rd-level slot, or does B cast no spell b/c there is no spell to counter? @JeremyECrawford @Dan_Dillon_1— Keithulhu Fhtammann (@KeithAmmann) October 12, 2020
