Identify
Identify is a 1st-level divination available to Artificer, Bard, Wizard.
You learn the target item's magical properties along with how to use them. This spell also reveals whether or not a targeted item requires attunement and how many charges it has. You learn what spells are affecting the targeted item (if any) along with what spells were used to create it.
Alternatively, you learn any spells that are currently affecting a targeted creature.
What this spell can reveal is at the Narrator's discretion, and some powerful and rare magics are immune to identify.
