It works.Mage hand Arcane Trickster or Regular Hand otherwise, sleight of hand lets you snag that pouch, which must be available for the mage to use it, otherwise it's useless. I.E. you can't have your component pouch in a bag of holding, reach in, grab what you need, and use the "Cast a spell action" because taking anything out of a bag of holding is, itself, an action. Same thing for taking items out of a backpack. It'd have to be on your hip or in your hand.Of course a Focus also works for that, and you can't generally sleight of hand something out of someone's hand.But even if they -didn't- have a focus, you're still only stopping spells that require material components, and only until they either get the pouch back or get components from some other source.</blockquote>
