Spellcraft Elaboration?


Rules Questions


I'm confused on this one part: Spellcraft can Identify a spell on just the skill check alone, but to Identify a Magic Item like a Wand, the person has to cast Detect Magic and make a Spellcraft Check.

So what if someone wants to identify a spell from a wand currently used by an enemy in combat? Does it count as the latter in needing to cast Detect Magic, or can it just be a Spellcraft as the Enemy DID already use the Wand to cast the spell it's loaded with?

The problem is that you can use a wand in spellcasting,as by an arcane bond, without it being magical itself. Besides, spellcraft with detect magic not only reveals the spell in the wand, but also the command word.
