Appraisal

Appraisal is a technique from Slash'EM Extended that can be found in the code of SlashTHEM; while the code for the actual technique is present unlike world fall and create ammo, it does not seem to be used by any role or race currently.

Using this technique would allow you to determine the enchantment value or amount of charges for your currently wielded item. Its main use was for weapons, though their enchantment could also be determined via the weapon practice technique on occasion; upon appraising a weapon, there would be a 200-turn timeout, and if used on something other than a weapon, it would take about 2000 turns instead. This timeout would still apply if the wielded item cannot have an enchantment value or charges (e.g. potions), or if the enchantment or charges are already known.
