@>sfb< SigmundFreud'sBartender I learned the existence of the Dresden Files series after I stopped reading regularly, so I never took the time to start any book.

@Brian Ó 🐟 Sounds like a cop out to me! How would they know the quality assurance spell would work in this specific object case since it has never been done before?

@Brian Ó 🐟 Instantly reminds me of this: https://twitter.com/d3veducation/status/813056723271450624

@Brian Ó 🐟 Ha ha ha, fair point, although the Dresden Files are trying to rehabilitate magic as a natural physical phenomenon with bound rules.

@Brian Ó 🐟 Yeah, like I said earlier I never took the time to look into it but it sounds like it can either be awesome or utterly terrible.

@>sfb< SigmundFreud'sBartender Thanks, I can't do audiobooks, I can barely do podcasts, only when I drive or when I can use my phone in crowded public transportation. Otherwise if I do anything else I don't pay attention to the words said.

@konogan How does the "Identify" spell knows to identify something that was invented? How does the creator of the Identify spell ensured forward compatibility? How does the "Identify" spell output the magical item function even if it correctly identifies it?

It seems to require the existence of an authoritative human-readable Rule Book somewhere.

@konogan If we assume priests can understand divine commands and translate into human language, and it seems important in most fantasy universes, it's a pretty elegant explanation.
