Sphere of Cognizance

The Sphere of Cognizance can be an essential tool for identifying unknown spells. By fuelling the process with raw magic crystals and concentrating their mind on the Sphere, a wizard can learn clues regarding the very nature of the spell which was put under the Sphere, without casting it. Not only can the elemental affinity of the spell be revealed this way, but also the its purpose - be it a summoning incantation, or a protective aura around the caster.

There is also a slight chance to discover the spell's name. The Sphere can be an useful addition to a wizard's arsenal of magical tools - and a mysterious, fancy decoration to a library of spells.
