I've read Magician! (Hah, this is what happens when you put links to your livejournal on facebook - strange people invade your LJ). I read the extended version and really liked it, mind you, I was somewhere around 15 at the time which I think helps with books like this. Like Harry Potter - if you read the first one when you were 11, you probably loved it, if not, you don't see it in the same way.
I didn't think at all about the worlds being stolen - I didn't know anything about fantasy roleplay at the time, though, which was probably why. I rather liked both Pug and Tomas (though mostly Pug) and felt that Pug's power came at a price, which was good.
Hmm, this has reminded me of how long it's been since I've read good fantasy ... time, time, where does it go? Oh yes - to Nano. That's right. That's what I should be doing instead of leaving a comment here - under 2000 to go!
