You can counter attack a target that has attacked you, whether it be by melee, range, or spell, with an attack spell of your own. You must be able to cast that spell instantly. 

You can absorb the damage of the spell that would affect your vitality to be released with Magic Redirect skill. You must release the spell damage before the end of battle or it will fade away. The absorbed damage will not affect your Vitality, instead 20% of it will go against your Soul for each round that you hold on to it. 

Cast an offensive spell on the weapon of your ally. Whenever your ally makes a critical hit with that weapon, the spell will cast. You will cast a spell with this action and therefore could consider is a skill/spell chain. 

You can absorb 10% of the spell damage and use it to restore your Soul.
