I don't understand.
Could I get an explanation or an example, please?

When ever targeted by magic a magic eater can spend their turn in advance to wrestle control of a spell from the caster (direct discipline contest). Succeeding this contest allows the magic eater to redirect the spell to his chosen target.

Isn't that more like reflecting the spell? Eating it tells me they absorb it or take strength from it rather than send it back.

A baseball bat to a baseball or a laser to a mirror; is how I interpret this. The spell bounces off/returns to sender.
Sanctaphrax:
The "spend turn in advance" thing is giving me trouble.
Does this work like a block? Is it similar to Riposte? Is it something totally different from either?
And how does the reflection work? If I throw a zonewide attack at the guy with this power, does he reflect the whole thing? And if I try to block his movement with a spell, can he reflect the block?
And how does targeting work? If the guy with this power walks into a magical wall, what happens?
ways and means:
It basically gives you control of the spell, I was aiming for something on the lines of the Mask but with magic (aka he swallows a tonne of magic and spits it right back). It costs a turn because it basically allows you to use the spell as an attack/manouvre/ block and these take a turn. Basically this power allows you to nullify a spell as (free action) and then fire your own one at the same amount of power back (which costs the turn).
