Appraisal v2

THIS IS AN ACTION NOT A SPELL (I just thought its less likely to be forgotten if it is in spell list)

You choose one object that you must touch throughout the length of a short rest or part of long rest without gaining the effects of said rest. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You do NOT learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are (this includes curses). You do NOT tell if the item was created by a spell, or which spell created it.

This can only identify creatures over 500 years old if you instead remain within 10 feet of them throughout the casting.

If you possess an archeologist, artisan (any variation), hermit (any variation), or lorehold student background you may add this spell as an optional feat, with the listed backgrounds this action will allow the user to still gain the effects of the rest.
