Level:

Time:
Trigger
Trigger:
When you cast a spellburn spell, or a target saves to end your spellburn spell.
Cost:
Spellburn 1 (upgrades to minor spellburn 1 for the first use per trigger)
Limit:
Once per trigger (upgrades to thrice per trigger)
You may pour immense power into a spell to make it far more likely to succeed.
You may spellburn 1 to give a spellburn spell you cast DC +1 or +1 to hit, and +1 to the DC to counterspell it.
You may do this after seeing the result of the target’s save.
Duration Spells:
Overloading a spell with a duration when you cast it only boosts the initial save DC.
Further saves to end the spell will normally be made at its normal DC.
However, when a creature makes a save to end a spellburn spell you cast on them, you may use Overload again to boost the DC of that save, but you have to pay the cost of Overload again.
