Magically / Telekinetically Steal an Item

[Machaeus]

So, I was wondering if there was a spell besides mage hand that allows you to quickly grab (even steal) an item at range. I can't seem to find such a thing, but maybe there's something I missed. I assume for such a spell there'd be a "ranged steal roll" for the mage (who likely has a crappy CMB, but you never know, it may work), but this all assumes such a spell exists.

If there isn't anything official, I may just make something for the hell of it and share it for peer review. And no, mage hand doesn't have quite the speed I'm looking for (say, 30 ft. in a move action, as opposed to 15 ft plus the standard action to grab the item in the first place).

There's an entire prestige class dedicated to doing stuff like that. The Arcane Trickster is a lot of fun.

Keep in mind that the spell really doesn't make up for any lack of skill you might have in Sleight of Hand.

They are both good bard spells (Swipe vs. Pilfering Hand). My bard just leveled up to 12th and I'm considering picking one of them up. Can't quite figure out which would be best for him. His stats are below:

Defensive Combat Training +12
Strength +0
Charisma +7
Caster Level 12

Would appreciate any math feedback on which spell would work best for him, meaning he would disarm his foes with more success. Thanks all.
