Identification

Identification is the process of discovering the properties and effects of unidentified items in Remixed Dungeon.

• Scroll of Knowledge - Identifies an item and provides additional information
• Using an item reveals its properties (but consumes or degrades the item)
• Shopkeeper identification in shops
• Alchemy can reveal item properties

• Potions - Color reveals the type after identification
• Scrolls - Title reveals the type after identification
• Rings - Gem and properties revealed after identification
• Wands - Type and remaining charges revealed after identification
