Well i was playing around with my mesmer today and i noticed a cool skill to accompany E-Surge and based on the skill description it should work against any spell ever

The skill is written in the perspective of the foe;
Their foes = your allies, so it triggers when they cast spells that target your allies. They can't target your allies with enchantments, so by definition, it won't work with enchantments in their current incarnation.

Only skills that specifically state "Target Foe" in its Spell description line will be affected by this skill. Meteor Shower, for instance, should trigger Mistrust.
