GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Thieves

Very confused again, this time about the spell-thief ability Steal Spells (p.32).

It starts:
Steal Spells
Spend 2 FP and make a Quick Contest of Will with your subject...
Later:
If you’ve just seen someone cast a spell, you can target it!
Make a Per-2 roll and spend 2 FP to target that specific spell.
If you succeed, they can maintain and control their previously
cast spell, but cannot cast it again until your theft’s
duration ends.

Questions:
1) Does it cost 2 or 4 FP to steal a spell you see them cast?
2) Is there a quick contest to steal a spell you see cast?
(by the book it seems not.)
