![]() ![]() I will take the ring with the pearl, and I hold it right here. After having found a ring with an inset pearl, Caleb casts identify on a magic ring that the party had found. In Episode 8 of Campaign 2, "The Gates of Zadash", Caleb Widogast casts identify for the first time. Wildemount, the setting of Critical Role: Campaign 2, is now an officialy published campaign setting for D&D 5e thanks to Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, and the events of Campaign 2 are Wildemount canon. That might be worth adding into your identify regimen. ![]() Ritually purifying the items to be identified of extraneous magicalĪuras that might interfere with the spell. That the caster must spend the eight hours prior to casting identify kindly pointed out that in the 2e AD&D PHB (AD&D was very closely related to AD&D 1e) value) and an owl feather steeped in wine, with the infusion drunk and a live miniature carp swallowed whole prior to spell casting. ![]() The material components of this spell are a pearl (of at least 100 g.p. The item to be identified must be examined by the magic-user within 1 hour per level of experience of the examiner after it has been discovered, or all readable impressions will have been blended into those of the characters who have possessed it since. a bracelet must be placed on the spell caster's wrist, a helm on his or her head, boots on the feet, a cloak worn, a dagger held, and so on. The item in question must be held or worn as would be normal for any such obiect, i.e. I removed the Gygaxian consequences elements since you are not going for a change in mechanics for 5e. This older version of the spell set up a magic user to be afflicted by any curse that is on the item - the 5e version usually afflicts the curse after attunement. Whether or not you want to incorporate the old school mechanical features into your 5e game is up to you - I am guessing that you don't. The D&D 5e version of the spell is a lot less complicated, and much less risky to the caster. It is worth noting that identify was a very complicated spell (pure Gygaxian-style fun) that could only identify one item at a time. The spell caster had to ingest a pearl, an owl feather steeped in wine, and a live carp. Yes, there was a description in the AD&D 1e PHB. I am mostly interested in the ritual casting of the spell, but the quick casting using the components is also of interest as I can extrapolate a ritual from that, and bonus points for both! I don't care if it is forgotten realms or any other setting, don't care the age of the information or what edition it was originally intended for, nor do I care if it is divine magic, arcane magic or any other source - as long as a pearl and owl feather are involved. In these novelisations, or any other official sources (including sources which were once official and no longer are, cannon, comment or otherwise), is there a description of someone casting Identify using the components? I can't see what this is meant to represent, and designer intent is off topic, but I am aware that there are multiple novelisations of various D&D realms none of which I have read. My understanding is that previous editions had the same components, albeit the pearl was consumed. Identify (D&D 5e) specifically calls for a 100gp pearl, and an owl feather. Sometimes this is pretty obviously a joke which I can play upon, but sometimes the components don't really make any sense (to me at least). I am making a list of how my wizard would cast spells, specifically using the components supplied. ![]()
