== Notes ==
* Arcane Thievery does not distinguish between spells that are already disabled or recharging. It can steal a spell that was already disabled by the effects of another skill, such as [[Diversion]], or a recharging spell whose recharge exceeds the duration of Arcane Thievery's disabling effect, such as [[Meteor Shower]].
* This cannot be activated on a target with no spells. ''"That target has no spells to steal."'' appears when you attempt to.
* If you die when the duration of Arcane Thievery has not ended, the stolen spell on your [[skill bar]] will revert back to Arcane Thievery (similar to [[Skill quick reference#Skills that are replaced with other skills|other skills that can copy skills]]); however, the target's spell will remain disabled for the full duration. This allows you to use Arcane Thievery to disable two spells at the same time if you are [[Resurrection|resurrected]] before the disable duration of the prior use of Arcane Thievery has ended.
* This can be used to interfere with [[skill chain]]s on [[profession]]s that tend to use only a few spells, e.g. primary [[Assassin]]s.
