Confessor's stronghold
Did you press the special action button (default being the – key)?

Like above… once you use the counter-magic, it gives you quickness and a shield. It’s almost like they had a mechanic to stop the health drain.
Once I figured it out it wasn’t so bad, but the lack of instructions made it a complete pain . Having a special action default button is all well and good, but it really wasn’t much use of you don’t know what that is before the scene starts.
Trying to figure something out whilst you are dying wasn’t my idea of fun- even my wife came in and asked me what was wrong as I was muttering so much!

I don’t know man, as soon as I heard the beep and the bottom popped up the first thing I that came to my mind was “I should probably click that”. Once I did the stuff Marj said before about reversing the magic made a lot more sense and it was a pretty smooth run on my first attempt.
