	Spell steal difficulty comes in two parts.

For a cleric or empath the most difficult offensive spell to steal is Immolation (519) with a difficulty of 27. Adding 8 to the level of the spell is a good approximation of the difficulty for stealing offensive spells.		Spell steal difficulty comes in two parts.

			==Mana Control Benefit==
	The caster who receives the spell will also have to spend the necessary mana points to cast the spell that has been transferred. However, training in [[Spirit Mana Control]] will decrease the required mana to cast a stolen spell at the rate of 1% per 2 ranks. The resultant mana cost is rounded up, with a minimum cost of 1.
			However, training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] (SMC) will decrease the required mana to cast a stolen spell at the rate of {{mono\|1% per 2 ranks}}. The resulting mana cost is rounded up, with a minimum cost of 1. This benefit maximizes at 192 SMC ranks, since 1 is ~5.26% of 19, and 192 ranks will decrease the mana requirement by 96%.
