Glasses of identification

Glasses of identification were a type of magical spectacles that allowed the wearer to see other magical items as they truly were. After putting the glasses on, the command words needed to activate the glasses would appear to float in the wearer's field of vision. When activated they could see any enchantments, curses or magical effects possessed by a given item.

One pair of these glasses were known to be offered for sale by the Shadow Thieves of Athkatla during the mid-14 century DR.
