'''Identifying''' [[magic]]al [[Unidentified items are back in Diablo III, with Identify Scrolls a key item]]s is one of the primary concerns for any adventurer in [[Sanctuary]] as they try to find the type of enchantments that suit them personallygame, once again.
It's assumed that Deckard Cain will once again help out with IDs provided in [[Caravan|town]], though this is not yet confirmed.
==Background==
Any object imbued with [[magic]] exhibits an aura that is easily noticed. To determine the exact nature of this enchantment, however, requires intense study and an extensive knowledge of arcane materials and symbols.

[[Diablo III]] was initially set to not have Identify, as the team felt it added an unnecessary, "unfun" step." They changed their minds at some point during development though, and ID scrolls were back in force as of the August 2010 Gamescom demo.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/user/diablo#p/u/1/mlTu2yCdkCI @1:05</ref>
