 ===Identification===
-Outside of auto-identification from wearing them, which carries the risks described above, levitation boots weigh the same as [[elven boots]] and [[water walking boots]] at 15 [[aum]] - this makes them somewhat difficult to identify by weight, especially if a character already has intrinsic [[stealth]] and cannot eliminate elven boots by wear-testing. [[Price identification]] combined with a means of determining their weight can help identify levitation boots, since they only share their base cost of 30[[zm]] with [[fumble boots]] and are 5 aum lighter.
