Name	Alchemical Analysis
Cost	8 points
Prerequisites	Any 2 of Apothecary, Imbuer or Poisoner
Key Words	Archetype / Creator / Work Units
Description	The character can, with access to an alchemist's laboratory and at a cost in work units, identify the primary alchemical trait of a herb or other ingredient. Analysis costs 10 work units and destroys one unit of an ingredient. This process grants the character a close understanding of the ingredient that will grant a discount to research targets when using it. The alchemist can tell others the ingredient's trait (which can be invaluable for research), but this does not also confer the discount. Note: This skill grants 5 Work Units per day. The number of work units the character can benefit from each day depends on their cap. See Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units for more.
Progression	None

-| Description || At the conclusion of this rite, the caster becomes aware if the target item or creature is enchanted (per [[Detect Magic]]), the mix of sphere(s) present, and a specific mechanical description of the enchantment’s effects, including duration and charges. If the target creature is afflicted with a magical disease, poison or other effect, the spell identifies the affliction and effects, and reveals the conditions for removing it.
-This rite does not normally reveal any traits specified as hidden from detection.
