''Benefit:'' A rogue can use this exploit to determine the magical properties of an item. By spending ten minutes focusing upon a magical item and succeeding on a Use Magic Device check (DC 10 + the caster level of the item), she can identify one property of that item (enhancement bonus, special ability, command word, etc.). For each three points by which she beats the DC, she can identify one additional property of the item. This exploit does not reveal the properties of artifacts, though it does indicate that such items are powerful. | ''Benefit:'' A rogue can use this exploit to determine the magical properties of an item.

''Benefit:'' A rogue can activate this exploit as a standard action to alter a magic weapon or magic armor's special property (of no more than a +1 enhancement bonus equivalent) to another special property of the same cost. Special abilities that have a fixed cost cannot be altered with this exploit, and the item must still be a valid target for the new ability (so that one could not add the ''distance'' property to a melee weapon, for instance). | ''Benefit:'' A rogue can activate this exploit as a standard action to alter a magic weapon or magic armor's special property (of no more than a +1 enhancement bonus equivalent) to another special property of the same cost.
