Identifying magic items


Hasseo66

Recommended Posts

The Magic spell Perception can be used to perceive magic or magic items. But knowing what each item can do is another matter. I would probably create/use a Knowledge skill for it instead of using a spell to identify the magic contained in an item. Knowledge (Occult) is an obvious fit or maybe a use of Research skill supported by Knowledge (Occult)?

I noticed when browsing through some old of the swedish Drakar och Demoner products that you there you could also use the Magic spell Vision to gain knowledge about how to activate a magic item. I rechecked the spell in the BRP book and it is still there. So there is another "official" way to learn how to use a magic item.

Excellent question, and good research!

I'll add something about this in the enchantments section of the Chronicler's Guide. Seems a good place for it.

Please don't contact me with Chaosium questions. I'm no longer associated with the company, and have no idea what the new management is doing.
