[Ooc oh the wand has a duration,  thought it was one use.. kk]

Elven Chain
Nang - Torque check [1d20+7] = 7+7 = 14 [OoC it could be argue  that Simon with his being 7th level is a likely to succeed without the wand as  Nang is with it.. and has a +12 with the wand]

[OoC: The Torque wand lasts for 5 minutes. ]

[OoC2: I had forgotten that Identify Spell takes an HOUR to cast.   ]

[OoC3: I'm a DM that really hates all the time spent (even before learning it takes an HOUR to cast) identifying magic items.  I think it's unnecessary and as this has shown, it makes the game lag.  It's why I really prefer Artificer's Monacales.  If I want a Magic Item to be mysterious, then the spell just doesn't work.  After all, it is only a 1st level spell. So until further notice, I'm just going to use the Pathfinder Identify Spell and update the Spellcraft rules.  So when casting Identify it gives you a +10 on spellcraft checks to identify magic items.

[OoC: The Torque Wand AND the Wand of Identify are both CL5!  This means:

1. When protected by the Torque Wand the person using the Wand of identify rolls (1d20+10) to resist Torque.  The DC is 15 + Spell level
   
2. The Wand of Identify lasts for 3 rounds per level (See the PF identify Spell)so you can Identify 5 items per casting.  The DC is 15 + Level of the item

Spell Craft

Determine Properties of Magic Item:  [Identify the properties of a magic item using detect magic | 15 + item’s caster level]

Attempting to ascertain the properties of a magic item takes 3 rounds per item to be identified and you must be able to thoroughly examine the object.

Retry? When using detect magic or identify to learn the properties of magic items, you can only attempt to ascertain the properties of an individual item once per day. Additional attempts reveal the same results.

[So...]

Betimi uses the wand of Identify [Roll = 7 +10; Success].  She can now make 5 Spellcraft checks with +10 to Identify 5 items.  [Please make your rolls]
