Identification
The tooled horn (and unicorn horn, if you are blind) can be identified via price identification.
Unless you are blind or hallucinating, or a horn has no charges (can happen on bones), all horns can be identified via applying them and replying "yes" to "Improvise?"
- Playing on tooled horn, you either "produce a frightful, grave sound" or (if confused) "What you produce is quite far from music..."
- Playing on fire horn or frost horn will emit a ray of fire or cold respectively, and auto-identify the horn.
- Playing on horn of plenty will produce food or potion.
Encyclopaedia entry
Roland hath set the Olifant to his mouth,
He grasps it well, and with great virtue sounds.
High are those peaks, afar it rings and loud,
Thirty great leagues they hear its echoes mount.
So Charles heard, and all his comrades round;
Then said that King: "Battle they do, our counts!"
And Guenelun answered, contrarious:
"That were a lie, in any other mouth."
