Description: Identify Magic is the ability to discern uncanny/supernatural/magical properties about an item, person, or spell.
Who Can Learn It: Anyone seems to be able to Identify Magic.
What It is Supposed to Do: Allows you to figure out if an item is magical, and if so, what the magic does.
What it Does: Nothing. Identify Magic does not appear to be implemented at this time. You can, however, still earn uses in it.
Activation: ID or IDENTIFY (ID MAGIC ON [TARGET]).
Usefulness (Low Levels): None. The skill does nothing buy allow you to gain more guild points.
Usefulness (Mid-Levels): None. At least Play Instruments DOES SOMETHING! Why are you practicing this?
Usefulness (High Levels): None. Torgin has yet to meet anyone that has reached this level of training (and for good reason).
How to Practice: ID MAGIC ON [Item] over and over again! You'll get a use every time you determine that the item is not magic. The one good thing about this skill is that it seems to work on any item, regardless of whether it is magical or not.
Unconfirmed Rumors (May or May Not Be True): I've practiced this skill on bindable magical items.. and have been told that the item was not magical. Identify Magic does not appear to do anything at this time, though it is technically a "working" skill since you can gain uses in it.
