Stealable powers that are actually worth stealing with mirror stance?

Hello there so I decided to make a new character for the first time since release for two main reason to see old stuff I dont even remember at this point and..... to clear out my powers tab.

So here is the deal on my old character I ran pretty much the entire game with mirror stance on and this has lead to my power tab being so bloated with shit its a shore to navigate and hunt down a new spell when it pops up in there, so I rather avoid this problem a second time around.

Maybe a dumb question but there is no way to forget/remove powers right?

There is some info on the wiki about what is stealable that I had a look at but I am not sure how accurate it is and would like some opinions on whats worth learning.

This caster will be a black mage burst damage caster so spell damage powers is what I care about (Kassyra dragon breath sound cool for a physical character)
After a quick gander on the wiki I think searing arc could be good and that fire bolt would be a decent early game at will spell and possibly coldsnap for on demand stun? But that is about it.
Feel free to point out good tease/buff spells as well while at it if there is some good ones that are missable out there.
Cheers!

The Powers tab has a filter option already. It has a search bar if you know at least part of the the name. You can click the B.Mage (or W.Mage, etc.) buttons to have those appear only, you can set the level shown. Only for the one rare off class or Other skill it really shouldn't be that hard.
I don't have any lists of good stealable B.Mage spells (I don't do casting other than Healing), the wiki is probably easiest to look at the list of stealables. I just basically run through with Mirror Stance and reading every book just to collect all the skills for personal glory.

As Ace said, you can go to the Wiki for a comprehensive list of all Powers that have specific Checks if a Power is able to be Stolen and if it can be Learnt.

Oop
I got distracted by what you put at the beginning of the body of your post and what Ace had responded with.
Fair enough I guess, thats the reason I ignored aces response all together lol as it was wholly unhelpful and ignored what I actually asked.

Like Nino said, you start your thread off on a whole tangent.
If your post is basically: 'What are some good Black Mage powers to acquire?' then just say that.
If your post is basically: 'I looked at the wiki, but I don't trust it about Black Mage Powers, tell me the good ones,' then say that.

You start your post with a problem you had that forced you to make a whole new character and one issue was that your Power tab was cluttered. Then you ask for a way to forget/remove Powers. How are we not supposed to assume you don't want to see a bunch of Powers in your Powers list? If your post is that you want us to design a 'Forget potion' made from the waters of the River Lethe, branching off the Styx to give you localized amnesia and remove your powers, then start with that.

Then only at the end in the last part do you also mention Black Mages. It makes it seem like you have a multipart problem, (for the Black Mage part I mentioned I didn't play them). Then you mentioned that you only looked a little into the wiki, and I told you were you could find more info.
My answer was how to not have to worry that you accidently learned Estrus Flask or Dual Strike and not have any clutter, which is what you opened your thread with.

Calling people wholly unhelpful when they bother to reply to your muddled up post and show an interest is pretty shitty. Did you think that maybe if you had replied and said, "Sorry, what I meant was..." you could have gotten an answer faster, rather than sitting in your chair and going, "Why has only one person answered in 36 hours?" and that the next person to do so also made the same assumption?
Otherwise, look into Primal Scar, Storm of Crows, and Vitality Reap. (<---- Just putting this here at the very end.)

My character is just a Spell Spam burst mage
Crown of Winter is godlike for the Encounter AoE attack Dawnbreak
Then I combine them with Celestial Smite and Jade Flame (but I see you only want to know about Black Magic stolen powers)

Hypnotic Words looks like a good At-Will Psychic/Tease attack that can only be stolen by the two linked characters (and whoever Caedian is)
Storm of Crows looks really good and fun but who the fuck is "Charline" to Steal it from???

Is it really that wierd to expect someone to read the post they are replying on? My bad crazy expectation on my part. But lets just move on shall we?

Saw that Charline pop up several times as on the wiki but with no links or dedicated page no idea who that character is either lol.

Made a reply to the Stickied Wiki thread, hopefully the concern is already being addressed or that my nudge helps highlight the issue
