Lens of Identifying Magic

A single compact lens with a metallic frame, attached to either a chain or some form of handle. No enchanter worth their salt ever goes without one of these.


It is not exactly known what kind of material this lens is made of — it is a rare crystalline ore found in many different locations throughout Mennara that doesn’t have many uses besides the construction of devices like this one. However, the polychromatic glimmer that emanates from the thin crystalline membrane that touches the delicate copper outer ring charms and intrigues even the most knowledgeable wizards all over Mennara.


This lens allows its bearer to detect magic objects, as well as identify their magic properties. When seen through the lens, an object engaged with the bearer will glow according to the amount of power it holds. Colder light glows indicate a power level between 1 and 3. Warmer light glows indicate a power level of 3 or higher.


When the lens is placed close to a magic object, the emanated energy is filtered by its crystalline structure and transmitted to the bearer’s mind, giving them clarity over the uses and purposes of the object. The process of identifying a magic item takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour.


The lens does not detect magic concentrated in living beings or constructs.
