NAME
  identify - provides information about an item

SYNOPSIS
  cast identify <object>

DESCRIPTION
  This spell allows the caster to tap into the collective knowledge
  of the universe through the astral plane, and can provide a
  detailed description of an item. The object being studied must be
  in the inventory of the caster for the spell to be effective.

  When you IDENTIFY an object, you will see a description similar to
  the following, that provides detailed information about it.

  Item 'a phoenix feather quill' is type writing-instrument, alignment
  500, made of organic, has keywords 'quill phoenix feather'.
  This item weighs 0 stones and 4 pebbles, and is valued at 1,125 gp.
  This level 45 item has the attributes: identified permanent wont-fuse
  will-float no-steal
  A phoenix feather quill is in excellent condition.
  There are about 1 ounces of ink remaining.
  *This item may be repaired 6 more times.
  This quill has been crafted from a large, red, phoenix feather that
  seems to flow through shades of red as if it were a flame. Despite
  its fiery appearance, the feather is cool to the touch and is not
  giving off any heat. The quill appears to have been enchanted to
  provide an endless amount of red-tinted ink, for use in writing
  letters and books.

  For further information on the attributes of the item (such as the
  "identified permanent wont-fuse will-float no-steal" shown above)
  please see HELP OBJECT ATTRIBUTES.

Although many believe this spell useless if you have lore, identify can be useful in identifying items that are higher level than you or in making sure that something is truly unidentifiable.
