Cryptic Command (8th Level, Abjuration)

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell or making an attack

Range: 60 feet

Components: S

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Wizard

A blue mote of light swirls around your outstretched palm, forming a symbol like a circle with four branches. When you cast this spell, choose two of the following options:

Counter: You attempt to interrupt a creature that you can see within range in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 8th level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect.

Embrace: You attempt to interrupt a creature that you can see within range in the process of making an attack. The target must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails the saving throw, its attack fails and it can’t make any additional attacks until the end of its next turn.

Remember: You regain an expended spell slot of 4th level or lower.

Restrain: Magical bands of blue light form around a creature within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw or become paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Textless Player’s Reward Cryptic Command... that was a great idea, right?

I mean, can you name all of the choices? Can you put them in the right order? Do you remember which ones target? Test yourselves!
