It is true that a Blue Mage would have a set limit to the powers he could 'steal', AND a limit to which powers he COULD steal.
To be fair, I haven't delved very deeply into the 4e monster list, but from a Heroic tier standpoint, stealing a Zone effect from a Firequench Wizard would be awesome.
In that respect, perhaps, like the Witch (and perhaps especially the Witch would be a great 'base' model), a Blue Mage amasses a (short) list of potential powers to swap during an extended rest. It would require a lot of cuztomizaton, to be sure.
