Automatic:

End any ongoing spell of 3rd level or lower on a chosen creature, object, or magical effect within 120 feet. Against 4th-level or higher spells, make a spellcasting ability check (DC 10 + spell level) to dispel; at higher spell slots, automatically end spells equal to or lower than the slot level. Instantaneous, no concentration. Search fit: remove magical effects, dispel enemy buffs, end curses."

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. The creature makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the spell dissipates with no effect, and the action, Bonus Action, or Reaction used to cast it is wasted. If that spell was cast with a spell slot, the slot isn't expended.
