Death Magic Question

[Kiljori]

Is there a spell or item that negates death magic spells such as Power Word: Kill?

Death Ward, for one.

Thanks! However, I was not-specific with my language, or did not explain myself fully.

While death ward will cause the recipient of death magic to drop to 1 hp, I am looking for something that would halt the spell without any effect on the player.

Something similar to Counterspell, but that reacts immediately and only to the casting of death magic.

Power Word Kill would be halted without any effect on the player.
