Editting the "Steal" item ability

What do all the fields on the "Steal" ability do? Totally curious as to what they do (statistically). Otherwise, the problem I'm trying to solve is...

I'm making a sort of "Instant mana steal" ability to go along with this Siphon Mana as a combo. Now, what I'm trying to do is this:


However, the problem is that when the ability is cast it steals all the mana of the enemy and gives the caster that amount of mana. I editted the Steal ability accordingly:

Level 1 Mana Tap
Leave Target Alive - True
Life Conversion as Percent - False
Life Converted to Life - 0.00
Life Converted to Mana - 45.00
Mana Conversion as Percent - False
Cast Range - 600.00
Cooldown - 15.00
Targets Allowed - Air, Enemy, Ground, Not Self

Another problem when I editted the Steal ability was that even though I set it to enemy-only targets you can still do it on allies and your own units.

So the questions I'd like answered are:

• How do the fields of Steal work?
• How would I work this spell to make it accordingly?
• How do I make it so it can only affect enemies?

I think that is some blizz hard coded stuff like Death Coil.

You could use the "Absorb Mana" or whatever it was called that the Destroyer(wc3 unit) has. Although, I don't know if that kind mana stealing is affected by Steal.

By the way, won't the "Life Converted to Mana" make the unit's health go away and your hero gets mana? I haven't played around with Siphon Mana or Life Drain much, so I guess I'll have to figure that one out...

There's some sort of bug or hard-code thing in Steal.
Trigger it, fast Siphon Mana, or something else would be better.
It's in "Handy WE Tips," the top of the General Development forum (this one).

Hydrolisk is right, and I hope this helps.
