Identify

This spell allows you to pull information from an item, including:

• Short name and other item handles
• All standard stats, skill and spell bonuses, unless the item's coder has deliberately blocked them from showing, which is rare but possible
• All standard alignment restrictions and weapon damage types
• Condition and maximum condition
• Material(s)
• Creator names (who killed the monster that dropped the item)
• Quality (flawed, standard, exceptional etc.)
• Weight (not the same adjectives as in 'look at item' which is used in BatWiki item articles)
• Age in real life time
• Usage data in real life time: which person has wielded/worn it for the longest, and for how long ('help eqdamage')
• A suggestion for weapon skill suitable for the item in question (bludgeons, axes etc.)

Some of the information is only available for those who have had training in Knowledge of metamorphosis. It also helps pulling more accurate stats, the stat messages below can fluctuate quite a lot from cast to cast, depending on your KoM.

Many items litter the realms. Some are carried by creatures and men, others are laying in hope of being found by some lucky (or unlucky) adventurer. A small portion of these items may be enchanted with special powers and abilites, most of which are not visible to the naked eye. The spell 'identify' is able to discern the workings of many items and can tell some of its attributes. Those who have studied lore and legend and the workings of magic are much more effective in this art.
