Defending against magic attacks

"Catch Spell" specifies spells thrown at you... could Dropping a spell be a way around that? Hovering above an enemy and dropping missile spells on them seems like a good tactic regardless, since dropping is a free action.

Not unless the GM wants it to. GURPS is not designed for that kind of rules interpretation; I'd reckon that just dropping a spell makes it easier to catch.
