Greater identify identifying iron
Greater identify should reveal if an item is made of iron

Given the propensity for mist elves to horrible skin burns from wearing iron items and the ease with which they use magic it would be nice if greater identify (spell and scroll) would reveal if an item is made of iron.

That would make a certain skill completely useless.

I'd rather it simply give a warning if the greater identify is cast by a mist elf - just something like "This object is made of an impure metal". Since none of the other races see it as impure metal, only mist elves would consider that to be part of an identification.

That skill is already useless. It can't identify minerals, stone, wood, paper, glass, cloth, or leather :p

How would that make the skill useless (any more useless than it is anyway)? Greater identify scrolls are pretty rare.

Wait a second, it isn't useless already?

The Metallurgy skill has its uses, not every new player would want to consult lists compiled by others. Some people, I speak out of personal experience, prefers to figure things out for themselves.

Regarding the RFE's topic. Why not, it is a scroll/spell of Greater Identify.

I'd like greater ID to reveal material type of all things, sure.

Seems Legit. Greater Identify should = Greater Detail. You have my vote.
