Ainz - Appraise Magic Item

He casually reached out to remove it but stopped. Interfering before he understood what had caused this state was too risky. He faced the circlet and used a spell. “Appraise Any Magic Item.”

In Yggdrasil, the spell would tell who made an item and what it did, and it worked in this world as well. Actually, it worked even better. Things he never would have learned in Yggdrasil popped into his head.

“...A Crown of Wisdom...I see. But hmm, considering what it does, this couldn’t exist in Yggdrasil. I guess it couldn’t be reproduced there?” he commented, impressed after acquiring general knowledge about the item. Then, he thought about what to do next.

Ainz took it and used the same spell as before. “Appraise Any Magic Item.”

The red sparks in his eyes burned brilliantly.

“What...is this? A Jewel of Death? And it’s an intelligent item?”

For having such a grandiose name, being “of death” and all, it wasn’t such a fancy item. It augmented the user’s ability to control undead and allowed them to cast a number of ghostmagic spells so many times per day—neither of which powers held much fascination for Ainz. The downside was that it could control a human in possession of it, but Ainz and Narberal were protected against mind control and the jewel couldn’t control subhumans or grotesques anyhow.
