# Revealing

Any found magical item needs to be identified. Enchanted or blessed items (i.e. all magical items) require studying. Just by touching it, one can understand if an item is magical. But identifying is the practice of revealing the powers (and weaknesses, if any) of the item. The historical value of any item determines  its identification requirements. 

If there's no signs to the historicitity of an item (such as the type of POI it was found in), roll a d6 to assign a historical value.

<table><thead><tr><th width="77.33333333333334">d6</th><th width="162"></th><th width="189"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Current</td><td>one punct</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Recent</td><td>two puncts</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Old</td><td>one hour</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Historical</td><td>one day</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Ancient</td><td>one week</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Alien/Unknown</td><td>one month</td></tr></tbody></table>

During the process, the sole significant activity of the magic-user is the revealing. No additional roll is required.
