Lore is the ability of a character to identify enchanted/magical items. Everyone has some lore but its often to insignificant to do much good. Bards are the lore masters. They get 10 points of lore per level. So a level 10 bard should be able to identify any item without resorting to a spell or scroll. Mages and thieves get 3 lore points per level and can often identify lesser items (arrows and common +1 weapons come to mind) without using a spell. Wisdom and Intelligence also increase lore abilities at higher levels. At INT or WIS level 15 lore is increased by +3, +5 at level 14 and so on.
