I was doing some testing in the arena against the prinny recently with Final Flare and Hot potato. I had Wind slasher, divine shower, and frigid formation as copy spells equipped, with level three final flare and level 5 hot potato.

I charged it up, and hit the Prinny multiple times with both attacks.
The prinny never took a single hit. Despite this Frigid formation AND wind slasher were both deleted from my spells until the end of the battle. (Divine shower never got used up to begin with.)

It seems like if a spell isn't targeted directly, it does no effect but still counts towards the three spell limit, AND still gets deleted.

Steps to replicate:
1: Be spellthief with the necesarry skill ranks
2: Copy untargeted spells.
3: Final flare a guy and notice how nothing happens, and you still lose your spells.
