Warhammer Fanrasy Role Play
Realm Of Divine Magic
Identify Sorcerous Artifact: Even a layman can learn to recognize the features of the
more common sorcerous artifacts and their workings. Some sorcerous artifacts (namely,
scrolls and alchemicals) are highly specialized, and require specific skills. However,
many popular sorcerous artifacts (i.e., sorcerous weapons, armor, and various rings and
amulets) are well-known to experienced adventurers and scholars.
This skill will not permit one to understand or employ unique or uncommon sorcerous
items, neither will it identify divine magical artifacts. Knowledge of Arcane Languages
or elaborate research may be necessary in some cases, or may provide additional useful
information. If the item is guarded by password or destructive magical protections, these
may also be recognized. (See Sorcerous Magic, Magical Artifacts, "Protection," page
??.)

Alchemical Lore: Alchemists and knowledgeable laymen may know the common names,

identifying unlabeled alchemical compounds is somewhat more difficult, and reliable
identification of rare or unique alchemical compounds is limited to experienced experts.
