Spell
Appraisal Magic Item
Created by BobbyxWhen you cast this spell, you attune your senses to the arcane energies suffusing a nearby magical item, allowing you to perceive its true nature and capabilities. The magic reveals all of the item's magical properties, including any passive abilities, activated functions, and special effects tied to its use. You learn whether the item requires attunement to function and, if so, how many attunement slots it demands. The spell grants you knowledge of any command words, charges, or special conditions necessary to activate the item's powers. Additionally, you discern if the item carries any curses, drawbacks, or dangerous side effects that might harm an unsuspecting user. This magic works on a single item at a time and requires you to either touch the object or have a clear line of sight to it. The spell proves invaluable for adventurers seeking to understand mysterious artifacts or assess the true worth of treasures discovered during their travels.
