*I think it is Ability Theft, because killing the person comes with the power of aura absorption. Ability Theft involves taking the persons ability and everything that came with it, i.e. Adam Monroe's long life was taken when Arthur took his ability. With Ability Theft you wouldn't kill the person unless they benifited from the power through extensive live or other things.
