Spell Descriptions
Identify
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute 1 action
Range: Touch
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a pearl worth at least 100 gp and an owl feather)
Duration: Instantaneous
You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn the general properties of the object. This will come in the form of a somewhat vague snippet. The Secondglass item, for example, has the following effect: “As a reaction, smash the glass to wind time back to the beginning of the current turn. Creatures retain their memory of events leading up to this point. Outside of combat, the DM has discretion on how much can be rewound. It should be only one or two actions.” The Identify spell would give the following information: “Turns back time. | Reaction: break the hourglass. | 1 charge.”
If this information is insufficient, you may choose to consume the pearl. If you do, you learn its specific properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, whether it is cursed (but not what the curse is), and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.
If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.
Communication
During the Game
Each team will be in one voice chat, with the DM moving between chats.
With the DM
You need to tell the DM what capabilities you intend have. If you need an invisible token, tell the DM. If you need an animal to turn into, tell the DM. Have your level-ups planned out to level 15, and and idea of what capabilities you will have by then.
With other Players
You can tell the truth or lie to other players about what you're doing. The DM will not enforce anything you tell them.
