Thief does not have to specify an Item before the die roll.

That makes sense, but my question is specific and is about the situation where Reloaded Die is the only Item. That means, if it would be used to set Thief's die roll to 6 (accidentally or intentionally), there will be no Item to steal afterwards. Is it a legit play?

I believe it would be good to have an official answer here.
