Name Enchantment

Name Enchantment is a runic spell that appears in Ultima Underworld I and II.

Spell Description
Name Enchantment allows its caster to determine the true nature of an object, revealing if it is enchanted or cursed and describing what kind of properties it possesses if magical. Such a spell is useful in correctly identifying potions, wands, rings, scrolls, magical armaments and other kinds of artifacts. Some artifacts have such complex enchantments woven into them, that only this spell or an expert may be able to identify them.

Trivia

 * Items may be identified without use of this spell by characters possessing a high "Lore" skill, though some high-end items may not be identified even at the highest skill level. The spell can identify all items.
 * In Ultima Underworld the blacksmith, Shak, will also identify items, albeit for a price.
 * In Ultima Underworld II the merchant, Merzan, will also identify items, albeit for a price.
