Araundor

[Yechezkiel]

In the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, there is an entry about the lich Araundor(Araundordoom, FRCS pg. 213). I won't go into the other, unrelated details, but it states that one of his tactics is reading the minds of enemies and, somehow, taking prepared spells out of their minds.

(stealing mind ray?)

It's not specific on this but we know he is a Wizard, so I was wondering if anyone can site any arcane methods (feats, spells, class abilities) that can accomplish this, within the Sor/Wiz(/Brd? ) class?

I'm hoping to use something like this with a BBEG and want to get ideas as to balance from other, established sources if possible.

Hmmn. Sounds a bit like the Spell Thief Class Feature. No idea, other than that, though.

There is power theif psionic power but that is psionics... Use psionic Device?

In the Warcraft D&D books: there is manaburn spell that takes away spells.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I do not think there has been a method printed for stealing prepared spells quite like the Araudon blurb suggests.

I gave you one. Spell Theft spell out of Complete Scoundrel.

I have always wanted a amalgamation of Crystalline Thoughts and Spell Theft. A spell in a crystal bursting out of an opponents wizard's skull is just too awesome.

No, Spell Theft takes active spells.

Sorry if I was unclear, but I'm speaking of prepared spells that have not yet been cast.

[lord_khaine]

yeah and spellthieves can do that.
