Trigger You're targeted with an arcane spell attack and you have this grimoire raised

Requirements You have the Raise a Tome feat

Effect The grimoire attempts to absorb knowledge of the spell targeting you. You attempt to counteract the triggering spell. If you succeed, the spell is absorbed into the grimoire, and the diagrams on the cover change to indicate the somatic gestures and sigils for the counteracted spell. While the grimoire contains a spell, you can spend a spell slot of the same or higher rank as the spell in the grimoire to cast that spell instead, heightened to the appropriate rank (if you spent a higher-rank spell slot). After you cast the spell, it's expended from the grimoire.
