Identify

An Alchemist learns early that the most dangerous thing in a dungeon is not the monster it is the item you picked up without thinking. Identify is the professional's answer to that problem: a careful, methodical reading of an object's magical signature before it ever touches a slot. A weak reading will tell you something is wrong without telling you what. A stronger one gives you a name. A thorough one tells you exactly what you're dealing with before you have to deal with it.
