Spell Steal turns all of Underlord's spells against his own team and even further empowers their already amazing values. The % Max HP damage from Firestorm scales with Arcane Supremacy's Spell Amlification resulting in devastating damage troughout the entirety of the game.
Spell Steal allows Rubick to cast a significantly improved version of Doom as it increases its duration and damage greatly, while reducing its cooldown. Telekinesis once improved with Aghanim's Shard can be used as a pseudo save for any Doomed targets and reposition them to safety.
Spell Steal arms Rubick and his team with an empowered Black Hole. Arcane Supremacy amplifies the cast range and damage of Malefice, Midnight Pulse and Black Hole. Telekinesis can instantly interrupt Black Hole or be used to break Linken's along with Fade Bolt to steal it.
Rubick takes Lion's kit and turns it against him and his team, but better. Spell Steal increases the duration of both Earth Spike and Hex, while Arcane Supremacy increases the damage of Earth Spike and Finger of Death. Might and Magus provides additional Magic Resistance to Rubick making him suprisingly tanky versus Lion's exclusive magic damage kit.
