Class talent

This is a Ninja Trick — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

When a ninja with this trick successfully attacks a creature that is holding a magic item that has a number of charges or uses per day, she can attempt a Use Magic Device check (DC = 20 + the item's caster level) to cause the item to lose either one daily use or a number of charges equal to the number of the ninja's sneak attack dice.
