What do you want to do?

Counterspell - level 3 spell, reaction

Allows you to cancel a spell completely.

Always works if the targeted spell is level 3 or lower
If the spell you're countering is level 4 or above, you need to make a DC 10 + spell level spellcasting ability check
When upcast, spells of the level used and lower are dispelled without a check

Cutting words - bardic inspiration die, reaction

You can spend a bardic inspiration to reduce any of the following results by 1 bardic inspiration die:

Attack roll
Ability check
Damage roll

You can use this after the DM has announced the number the enemy has rolled, but before you know whether it's a success/failure.

Absorb elements - level 1 spell, reaction (from Verdant Viola)

Grant yourself resistance against one of the following damage types until the start of your next turn.

Acid
Cold
Fire
Lightning
Thunder

The first time you attack with your rapier on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type.

Opportunity attack - reaction

Attack an enemy moving out of range with your rapier.
