How does it feel when a spellthief steals a spell?

[carborundum]

IMC the spellthief has finally persuaded the druid to let her borrow a spell. I'm wondering how to describe it in our journal. My first thought was it should be creepy but not too awful, so it happens but only at dramatic and desperate times.

My own idea?

You know when you really need to pee, but have to wait? Then you wait so long it goes away... and when you finally go it hurts a little, but feels good too. That feeling.

I'ld say that it feels like an Emptyness. The Power is being Sucked out of you from a sorce not your own. It's scary and creapy, for you have no control of it.

Or you could describe it the same way you would if the character had actually cast the spell.

Like reaching for a glass and your hand going awry, you feel your mind gently but irresistibly turned, and the spell falls from your grasp.
