Transfer User

At 15th level, your power over the arcane has transcended previous understanding, and you gain the ability to transfer magic from creature to creature, or to assume control of a creature summoned by magic. As an action, you can target a creature within 60 feet of you that has an active spell upon them and make a contested spellcasting ability check against the creature that initially cast the spell. On a success, you can transfer the spell to a different creature as long as they are within the spell's normal range, or you can take control of the creature if it was summoned by magic. If the spell requires concentration, you must maintain concentration, and the previous caster is no longer concentrating on it.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all uses when you finish a long rest.
