Any chance my thief could gain the ability to identify what spells are in a runestone?
Honestly, if you made it a contact or something, I'd be OK with it, though I'd much prefer to use my hard-won arcana ranks.
It's a small thing, and I think I remember Armifer commenting that there's no way to allow NMU types to focus and ID. But appraise maybe? Study? Something not quite magic; it's a runestone after all, we should be able to translate the engravings.
Heck, make the 'not magic' way harder for MUs (the aura of magic surrounding the stone makes it difficult for you to study the runes directly, perhaps you should FOCUS on this instead) just because.
