He isnt just a spell thief. He is a prisoner, now free. To mock his imprisoners he uses the chains that suppressed him as a weapon against them.

And he is a revolutionist. The chains are a symbol, that these chains cant hold them down forever.

You shouldnt just reduce him to the "spell-thief-aspect" but take also his break-free from prison into account. The ability to take enemy magic powers is just the most powerfull aspect and therefore his ultimate, but far from the only thing that defines him.
