Absorb Skill M points for D seconds
Transfer M points of a given Skill from the target to the spellcaster for a duration of D seconds. On the target, the effect is comparable to Drain Skill; on the spellcaster the effect is comparable to Fortify Skill.
Oddly enough, Absorb Skill works even on creatures who presumably have no skills. For example, casting Absorb Mercantile on a zombie will fortify your mercantile skill.
Internally, all of the various Absorb Skill effects are considered to be the same, so learning Absorb Skill:Athletics, for example, will give you access to all 21 Absorb Skill commands at the Spellmaking Altar.
