Effect The caster can discern magical properties of the object, identifying relative power level, activation methods, general purpose, and imbued spells. Identify may only reveal properties equal or less than the caster's rank in the Prime Sphere or Magic Domain (e.g. a caster with Prime 2 would not be able to identify the command word for a Wand of Fireballs as the spell is Rank 3). A roll of Intelligence + Magecraft Skill + Prime Sphere Rank is made when Identify is cast. If the item is cursed or its powers are deliberately concealed, the Identify spell does not reveal the details unless successes greater than the opposing Potency are achieved.
