CA: Spellthief questions

[Kae'Yoss]

Or, touch a willing target as a standard action.

You're right. Damn, should have known better.

There goes my chance of convincing the party spellslingers that I really have to shove that blade in their back "for the greater good of the party". (Though they don't have to know this...)

Sneak attack with a Sap, or even sneak attack with a sturdy set of boots. If you are doing so while they are unarmed or are unaware they don't get to hit you in the grill with an AoO against your unarmed attack. You still get the satisfaction of wacking the spellcaster, but subual damage make it an easier sell as "For the greater good of the party" when that +Str+Xd6 hurt comes down.

The first sentence of the class says it uses arcane magic to power this ability. Can arcane magic be used to power a divine spell? I wouldn't assume that unless it says so....

Also, how does metamagic interact with this? If a spellthief steals a quickened magic missile, can he cast it quickened? Or, does it become a full-round action since he doesn't prepare spells? Or doesn't it matter because it's already prepared?

He can. He steals a spell, and can cast it later.

A Spellthief cannot apply metamagic feats to spells he's stolen. He can, however, steal metamagicked spells. So, he could steal a quickened magic missile, and could then cast a quickened magic missile, but he couldn't steal a magic missile and then quicken it.

If he steals a divine spell, does he cast it as a divine spell? Or does he cast it as if it were arcane?
