| Level: 3 | Component Cost: 55 |
| Category: Divination | Market Price: 65 |
| Time: 1 hour | Key Skill: Arcana |
| Duration: Instantaneous |
You need a former body part or piece of excrement from the creature to be analyzed; on a success, you learn of any special vulnerabilities or resistances the creature has to different forms of attack, including such things as not being able to regenerate damage of a specific type. You do not learn of any defenses the creatures have against all types of attack.
You can ask about one type of attack for every full 5 points on the Arcana check; a result of 5-9 allows one question, 10-14 two questions, and so on. Damage types analyzed include all types of energy such as radiant, fire, or thunder, and specific substances like silver.
