What is the different between using Recall Knowledge and Identify Magic when you try to idetify spells? The first one requires an action and it's untrained, and the second one it's trained and for Exploration Mode. What else?
I am asking because I don't see the point in the last sentence: "...because you don't have the advantage of watching the spell being cast"
Here you have how Identiying Spells works according to CRB page 305
"Sometimes you need to identify a spell, especially if its effects are not obvious right away. If you notice a spell being cast, and you have prepared that spell or have it in your repertoire, you automatically know what the spell is, including the level to which it is heightened.
If you want to identify a spell but don’t have it prepared or in your repertoire, you must spend an action on your turn to attempt to identify it using Recall Knowledge. You typically notice a spell being cast by seeing its visual manifestations or hearing its verbal casting components. Identifying long-lasting
spells that are already in place requires using Identify Magic instead of Recall Knowledge because you don’t have the advantage of watching the spell being cast."
Recall Knowledge is used when the spell is being cast just then, Identify Magic is used when you come upon a spell already in place, like the door to a magnificent mansion that you didn't see being cast because that happened 3 hours ago, when your character was a mile away.
[Edit: Rewording]
So, if you see a spell being cast, you either
- identify automatically (when "you have prepared that spell or have it in your repertoire")
or
- have to use Recall knowledge (like a Wizard that has the spell in his spellbook, but didn't prepare it that day)
If you don't see the spell being cast (regardless of if you have the spell in your repertoire / prepared or not), you use Identify Magic.
