"The Aura Thief is a special kind of Rogue that has the ability to touch spells and magical effects as if they were gold coins. They can lift an abjuration spell from a wizard as easily as they could a ring from a countess’s finger. They have the skills to manipulate magic in a way that benefits them and can even share those enhancements with allies."
Magic Manipulation Options
Aura Thief Feature
Using a Magic action, you touch a magical object and absorb its power, suppressing its magic. You can choose to end the effect at any time, returning the magic. The effect is determined according to the Magic Manipulation Table. Here are a few options:
Rejuvenate (potion). At the start of your turn, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d4 + your Proficiency Bonus.
Inspiring (ring). When you use your Cunning Action to Dash, Disengage, or Hide, you can grant a creature you can see within 30 feet of you a 1d4 bonus to their next D20 Test before the end of their next turn.

There are two ways for that to happen. Just run into one of these jerks.
Brand Forger (Aura Thief)
Brand Forger Uncommon Creature — Human Wizard 2UU — 2/2 When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, gain control of target enchantment for as long as you control CARDNAME.
