Hasseo66 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Im in the process of converting Trollslayer to MW, but cant find in the rulebook, how to identify enchanted objects. Witchsight seems to deal with spirit and demons only. Is there a spell for this in Basic roleplaying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenJadisOfCharn Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't know, but I suggest a spell called 'Identify' that requires 1MP per level, 1 minute to cast, pus one 100GP pearl. Each level identifies one property of the magic item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorpa Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 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)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasseo66 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ok, thanks. Ill try the knowledge(occult) skill option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorpa Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzunder Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Witch Sight is definitely appropriate for the recognising magical aura. I tend to view enchanted items as quite "chatty" and likely to introduce themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMonroe Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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. Quote 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.
