Description	The caster learns whether the target object is enchanted (including temporarily by a spell, longer-term by ritual or divine power, by the skill Invocation, by conjunctional magic or any other magical or supernatural means). They also learn the mix of sphere(s) present, and a very rough (typically one-word) description of the enchantment’s primary effect(s). It does not reveal the enchantment’s duration, charges or any other mechanical details. Examples A demon-killing sword that calls Elemental Spiritual Through is revealed as “Elemental and Spiritual, with a damaging enchantment” An amulet that hardens the wearer’s skin, giving them one extra physical hit, shows up as “Corporeal, with a defensive enchantment” The spell does not reveal the enchantment’s drawbacks or limitations, or anything other than its main intended effect.
