You touch an item that you can move or lift with your hands and know it’s weight and volume in the system of metrics you are familiar with, knowing each conversion if you know multiple metrics forms.

Additionally, you may similarly know the same about a held bag and its contents, including knowing the counts of items in the bag but not what the items are specifically. For instance you could hold a bag that weighs a pound, but contains that in 5 items total plus the bag, without knowing what those 5 items are unless you open the bag to examine them. You can even use this cantrip to accurately guess the number of grains of rice in a bag.

At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the number of material components required may be reduced by 1 allowing you to use only 2 of the 3 listed. Required material components reduce by an additional 1 at 11th level and 17th level.
