ma il controcanto si può utilizzare solo mentre viene pronunciata qualche parola dall'incantatore nemico, oppure può farlo finchè l'effetto di un incantesimo nemico (tipo suggestione) è attivo?

Il dubbio mi è venuto dopo aver visto una scena in "the gamers 2", dove il bardo usa "controcanto" per fermare un qualche incantesimo d ammaliamento del nemico, anche se non stava pronunciando comandi

Si può usare anche contro incantesimi "in corso".

Countersong (Su): A bard with 3 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to counter magical effects that depend on sound (but not spells that simply have verbal components). Each round of the countersong, he makes a Perform check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use the bard’s Perform check result for the save. Countersong has no effect against effects that don’t allow saves. The bard may keep up the countersong for 10 rounds.
