The caster licks the object and studies it closely, feeling the energies inside the object and attempting to get at them using her own magical energies.

Over the course of an hour, the caster determines all magic properties of a single channeled item, including how to activate those functions (if appropriate), how many and what type of channels are required, and so on.

This spell does not function when used on an artifact or a magic item that is not powered by energy channels.

Note: This spell originally requires 100 gp in materials, but only works for channeled items
