As I explained it, the spell does not *directly* modify thieving skills. All it does is increasing STR, DEX, and CON. However, the DEX bonus can increase your thieving skills. Different skills start to be affected at different values. Open Locks start increasing at 15 DEX, but Set Traps and Find Traps only start increasing at 18 DEX. From this angle, the spell does complement the thief class. Just not directly, and conditional.

For example, you have 18 DEX and get +6 bonus, then your Open Locks, Find Traps, Pick Pockets, and Set Traps will all increase by 30%. If you have 12 DEX and get +3 bonus, all you get is 5% Open Locks.
