In DotA, this spell is an ulti, and it's totally balanced. It steals the last spell used by the hero you target with your ulti. This has a pretty low cooldown (~20 seconds), so you can change spell if you copy a totally useless spell.

The spell you copy has the exact cooldown and damages that the ennemy spell had when you stole it. The spell disapear after 3/4/5 minutes so you can't keep a strong ulti all game long.

You can copy an ennemy ultimate, but that's not broken, cause don't forget that this is your ultimate aswell. It means that, if an ennemy Amumu ulti and you steal it, you have to do your best to place that ulti, just like an amumu would do.

In fact, in DotA, the most useful spells to steal aren't always ultimate. When Rubick steals the hook (Pudge, just like Blitz's grab), or a targeted stun, now the real shit begins.

The kit of Rubick is -> a targeted chain laser with good damages, that debuff ennemy damages, a lift (it lifts a targeted ennemy into the air for like 2.5 seconds at the max level, then you can chose where he falls in like 400 aoe, and it stuns the ennemies in the landing area but not the lifted ennemy), and a passive magic resistance aura (just like taric but with MR instead of armor).

You can easily counter this ulti, by always using your worst spell after your ultimate (ie: using tantrum after ulti on amumu, using speed buff after ulti on nunu,..).

And there are some spells that you simply can't copy, but in case of Karma, let's say that if the last spell you used was Q with ultimate on, you'd copy the whole combo. Just like if the last spell Rengar used was the upgraded Q, you'd steal Upgraded Q, if it was a normal Q, you'd steal normal Q. Don't forget this is your ultimate. And you can't copy any passive.
