Not bad. We should add in that this spell cannot take a caster under 0 MP and if they have less MP than you rolled, you only get what they have. Also, there should be a resistance roll. Caster will vs Ess? Ess vs Ess?

"Steal Mana" implies that you take their MP and add it to your MP. I'm not sure that that's not what DocFullton meant.
If it's going to be MP -> HP, then I think the spell needs a different name. I recommend Mojo Filter.

I could see a steal HP, steal MP and a convert MP of target to HP.

mana loss on target is transfered to caster...

I'd start with half of the mana goes to the caster - a spell up, the full amount (another off branch).

I'd put round down and have it be something on the damage track because EVERYTHING IS ON THE DAMAGE TRACK. Spells and items can give a bump on the damage track or take it down a notch on the damage track, etc. Thinking of this for the steps instead:  |

So 'steal health': get half d6, half d8, full d6, d10 half, d8 full, d12 half, d10 full, d12 full.
'Steal mana': get half d6, half d8, full d6, d10 half, d8 full, d12 half, d10 full, d12 full.
Steal health and convert it to mana and steal mana and convert it to health can be either separate lines along the same or offshoots of these.
Thoughts?

I think just keeping it to steal HP/MP and not have "convert HP to MP" and vice versa. Bit simpler imo.
That's 8 entire branches. A bit much maybe? What about just straight up d4, d6, d8 and that's it. Cost of 2 MP for all of them. Maybe up it to 6 MP when stealing HP to keep it in line with:
Trade HP for MP
Casting time: 1 round
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: None if successful, lose 3MP if they fail.
Caster takes 6hp of damage (real) and regains up to 6mp.

More branches is not a bad thing - plus then you have a way to get some or all of the HP/MP.
That part (that I have currently) I like - HP for HP one branch, MP for MP one branch - wondering if I should just make HP for MP a third branch. Leaning toward yes.
If these end up becoming three whole trees all the way up to ten, I'm OK with that - they are still useful trees - anything that strengthens you while weakening the enemy is great.
