The spell determines all magic properties of a single magic item, including how to activate those functions (if appropriate), and how many charges are left (if any). Identify does not function when used on an artifact, unless the caster has a very high Knowledge-Arcana skill level. After casting the spell, a Knowledge - Arcana check can be made once with a D20, to immediately determine the information about the item. There is a base DC of 10 (for really easy items), 15 (for basic items), 20 (for really tough items), and 40 for 'Artifacts' and unique, one-of-a-kind items.

Ceera gets a modifier of +23 for her level of Arcane Knowledge, and another +2 for her knowledge of Spellcraft.(She would only need to roll for a really tough item, an Artifact, or a unique item)

Requires a spoken incantation and a touching the target with one hand to cast the spell.Concentration must be maintained for up to one hour while the divination is taking place, unless the Knowledge-Arcana die check is made successfully.
