Stolen Spellcasting
Many of the Quintenium Alloy spikes have the ability to steal innate spellcasting. This includes spell-like abilities, and spellcasting granted by means related to the caster's nature such as that possessed by a sorcerer, psychic, or oracle. In the latter case, the recipient either gains slots or is able to prepare spells as would be normal for a member of the victim's class. This ability can only be used to cast spells of the school specified and that were on the list of spells known by the victim and the recipient receives a number of slots or can prepare a number of spells of various levels matching that which the victim could. The recipient is treated as having a caster level equal to the victim's for determining the effects of the spells. When stealing spell-like abilities, the recipient can use them as often as the victim could have. Spell-like abilities that do not replicate a spell and that do not otherwise belong to a school of magic can be treated as though they were a part of the school that best matches the ability. Use existing spells as examples to help determine their school.
