Deflect Spell

When you successfully counter a spell, instead of dismissing it entirely, you may choose a new target for the spell. To do so you must spend a spell slot that is at least the same level as the spell you are deflecting. If you deflect the spell, choose a new target for it. The new target must be legal and within range. The spell then takes effect normally at the new target, just as if the caster had originally chosen that target. If a spell allows multiple targets, you choose all targets. For example, Leanine Starborn, a high elf priestess with the Deflect Spell feat, is engaged in combat with Alastair Bentstaff, a human mage. Leanine readies an action to counter a spell. Alastair attempts to cast frost nova; Leanine identifies it with a Spellcraft check and successfully counters it with dispel magic. She then decides to deflect the spell onto Alastair's cronies. She spends a 3rd-level spell slot (because frost nova is a 3rd-level spell). Alastair's frost nova explodes among his friends at the location Leanine has chosen, with the damage, save DC and other pertinent information based on Alastair's statistics, as normal. Leanine expended two 3rd-level spell slots - one for dispel magic and one for the deflection - to deflect Alastair's frost nova.
