The Magical Iwva Temple is a place of mystique and wonderment. Nestled deep within a dense forest, it is said to hold incredible powers and secrets that have been passed down through generations. The temple is known for its enchanting aura, captivating anyone who steps foot on its grounds. Legend has it that the Magical Iwva Temple was created by an ancient sorcerer who wanted to create a sanctuary that could harness the energy of the natural world. The temple was built using intricate designs and magical spells to create a space where the forces of nature could be channeled and harnessed. As you approach the temple, you are immediately welcomed by a sense of tranquility and harmony.

Getting back to the question at hand: you have these magical ingredients. They provide magical effects when consumed, but they’re also useful for crafting magical items. How do the players know what they can do? How do the players know how to make use of them? How can they find out? And how do they know how they can find out?

Well, identify reveals the magical aura of an object so fully and completely that a wizard can figure out exactly what the magic does and how to unleash it. My argument was the trap isn t considered a magic item, and if it was he d need to be holding it as an item to thoroughly examine it, as per the Identify spell.

As you approach the temple, you are immediately welcomed by a sense of tranquility and harmony. The sound of flowing water and gentle rustling of leaves fills the air, calming your senses and easing any tension you may be carrying. The temple itself is a magnificent structure, constructed from ancient stones that seem to glow with a magical energy.

Is there a way for characters to identify magic items/cursed items in BECMI? Or in BX, there’s not a ton of difference, right? I’ve been just telling the players both kinds of weapons are ornate and “seem very special”, but they don’t know if they are +1/+2/-1, etc. I guess they don’t even know for sure that they are really magic. They may figure it out by dice rolls eventually I guess..

The Companion set has at least two options. The Slate of Identification (C54) can do a limited number of identifications each day. Demi-Human clan relics can provide information on one item every 24 hours. There might be more. Those were the ones I remembered and quickly verified.

Nothing detects cursed items as cursed.

I never told my players if items were magical until they tried to use them. They'd always loved the surprise that they found a magic weapon.

The campaigns I DM'd never had any cursed weapons that I can recall. I did play in one where my character found a helmet and the DM told me later that it had been cursed and causing me to have a worse AC. He hadn't told me while I was playing. I think he was trying to let me figure out why I was getting hit with the rolls he made but I didn't catch on. I think it's hard to convince a player to not act like something is cursed when the character is supposed to think the item is providing a bonus.

The 1983 rules state:

However, it will seem to be a
"normal" magic sword (whatever type was
first rolled) until used in deadly combat. At
that time, the curse is revealed.

Once a cursed sword is
used in battle, it may not be thrown away.
If it is stolen or sold, the character is cursed
with the desire to get it back. The character
will always use that weapon when in battle.
(DM, tell the player that this is what the
character wants — and no arguments!)
Only a high level NPC magic-user or cleric
can help a character be rid of the curse.
After the curse is removed, the sword will
become a "normal" magic sword, of whatever
type was rolled.

Then the rules go on to say the same types of minuses apply to any other cursed items, except scrolls. For them, it says:

Unfortunately, when any
writing on a cursed scroll is even seen, the
victim is immediately cursed. No reading is
necessary! You, the DM, must make up
each curse. Examples of a few common
curses are:

[Then it lists 6 examples.]

Regarding other ways to identify, it says:

The only way to identify exactly what an
item does is by testing it (trying on the ring,
sipping the potion, etc.). If a retainer does
this testing, the retainer will expect to keep
the item. A high level NPC magic-user may
be asked to identify an item, but will want
money or a service in advance and may
take several weeks (game time, not real
time) to do it.
