Analyze Item

Level: 2
Range: Touch
Target: One object
Duration: 1 round
By studying an item, you can determine a great deal about it, including its magical properties, if any.
By delivering an utterance of perception and analysis incorporating the truename of the object, you determine all spells and magical properties affecting a specifi c item you’re touching. In the case of a magic item, you learn its functions, how to activate its functions (if appropriate), and how many charges are left (if it uses charges). In the case of an object with active spells cast upon it, you learn one spell with each use of this utterance, highest level to lowest, including its effect and caster level. You cannot determine the function of an artifact with this utterance.
