Analyze Materials

You touch one object or creature and learn detailed information about its material composition. You learn:

• All metals, minerals, and significant materials that make up the target
• The approximate percentage or amount of each material present
• Whether any materials are magical, extraplanar, or otherwise unusual in nature

For creatures, you learn about any metals or minerals in their body (such as iron in blood, metal armor they're wearing, metallic implants, or unusual mineral deposits). This spell doesn't reveal magical properties or curses, only the physical composition.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you gain additional information:

• 2nd level: You learn the origin and age of the materials (where they were mined/harvested and approximately how old they are)
• 3rd level: You learn the crafting methods used and can identify the maker's techniques or regional crafting styles
• 4th level: You detect any impurities, weaknesses, or structural flaws in the materials, and learn the item's estimated durability
• 5th level or higher: You gain complete knowledge of the item's material history, including any alterations, repairs, or transformations it has undergone
