This skill allows you to use your knowledge of myths and legends to obtain information about an item: its name, weight, cost, material, flags, and parameters it modifies: stats, hit points, damage/accuracy, armor, and so on.

The more diligently you practice this skill, the more you will discover. The most interesting and secret knowledge can only be gained by advancement above 80-90%.

Unlike identification, or especially a comparison, the lore skill allows you to discover some secret or hidden properties of items and ancient artifacts.
