Parameters:

mob - the person to use the skill

target - the potential target -- may be invoker

Returns:

Ability.QUALITY_* constant classification

Specified by:

invoke in interface Ability

Overrides:

invoke in class ThiefSkill

Parameters:

mob - the player or mob invoking the skill

commands - the parameters entered for the skill (minus trigger word)

givenTarget - null, unless being auto-invoked. Represents an override target.
