Stealing Spell (Metamagic)

You gain the benefits of spells you counter or dispel.

Prerequisite: ability to cast dispel magic

Benefit: You can apply this feat to any spell that requires a dispel check. When you successfully dispel a beneficial spell, the spell effect transfers to you rather than ending and only you can dismiss the spell. An observer may attempt a Spellcraft check (DC 20) to discern what has occurred. A stealing spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
