What is the bug?
In double battles the ability magician steals the item of the opponent's pokemon slot 2, even if that pokemon clicked protect that turn. This only happens when the magician user clicks a multi-target move like heat wave or dazzling gleam, which hits the opponent's pokemon slot 1 and the protect of the slot 2. Magician user's slot doesn't seem to matter.
