Know Properties Formula

E/F/M:

As opposed to the grade IV casting identify this formula allows the diviner to learn about specific powers and heka engendered effects of an item which is subjeted to the dweomer. This casting will reveal the command word needed to operate and or activate magickal devices providing teh persona can make a successful rol versus STEEP at a DR of hard for each separate activator . Any special failure in this regard means that the diviner can never learn anyting more about the suject through any dweomer . of coure the caster might subsequently learn details through normal investigation of form another who has the information . also note that the caster can make but one such attempt for each 10 poitns of STEEP possessed. the same is true for discovery of properties of the subject item each of which requires 10 STEEP but without necessity of a K/S check. For example a magickal staff which had bonuses for speed factor weapon factor and physical damage inflicited would require 30 STEEP . if it then had three command word activatior for three additonal functions the practitiner would need an additional 60 STEEP points to discover all six facts about it.
