Spellsteal is a mage spell that steals a magic buff from a single target. The stolen buff will benefit the mage for up to two minutes, but never more than the duration remaining on the target from which it was stolen. Spellsteal was introduced in the Burning Crusade expansion.

Notes
Spellsteal uses the dispel mechanic and is affected by dispel resistance. There is no known pattern to which buff Spellsteal will target. It attempts to steal a random buff every time.
Tips and tactics
Sometimes a buff appears to have no practical use and is not worth stealing. However, if your party has no Priest or Shaman to dispel the buff, spellsteal accomplishes the same thing.

Patch changes
Patch 2.1.0 (5/22/07): Stolen buffs that affect specific spells from the original target's class will no longer have any effect for the mage.
Patch 2.2.0 (9/25/07): Spellsteal now awards the correct amount of points for stacked auras that are stolen.
Patch 2.4.0 (3/25/08): Blink, Slow, and Spellsteal have all had their mana cost reduced, and Spellsteal will no longer overwrite a longer duration buff.
