An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

2014-09-20wotc

Prowess goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger. It will resolve before that spell.

2014-09-20wotc

Once it triggers, prowess isn't connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.
