Spellsniper
As the titanic battle between the boar-like monstrosity and the werewolf raged, the nobleman was dealing with the beast’s master. He had already stolen his spell of flight, which forced him to cast his third and last fly spell of the day.
–“You lot don’t know when to quit.” The nobleman mumbled to himself as he cast a disintegrate ray at the beast’s master. Who simply absorbed it into his hand. With a twinge of irritation he shot it back at the nobleman. Luckily, the nobleman had enough time to conjure a wall of force between them,. The wall did not last and shattered under the returned ray.
–“How quaint, a spellthief truly is the worst.” he said, as he weighed his options.

Goal
Another build that excels both a close, mid and long range. Between manyshot, weapon finesse, and the ability to shift area effect spells into rays that you steal from sneak attacks, you are an especially tricky opponent to deal with, owing it to a vast tool-belt of abilities to deal with a variety of situations. You can also steal psionic powers, because stealing spells wasn’t enough, you also had to up the psionics.
