If the check succeeds, you gain the effect of the spell for the remainder of its duration, as if it had been cast on you instead of the original target, and the opponent loses that effect .

Only spells capable of being dispelled can be affected by spell theft . In addition, if you are not a legal target of the spell to be stolen, your dispel check automatically fails . For example, if you cast spell theft on a dire bear affected by bull’s strength
