Appraising
With Appraising, the character is conversant with the production, value, cultural knowledge, and use of goods. This is only academic, approximate knowledge – to a degree reflected by the skill level they possess related to the item they are appraising. The character has an understanding of the general value and availability of goods, and can test them to assess their item properties. Note that having skill related to the item may alone may be enough to assess physical properties exclusive of value. Assessing mystic items requires an applicable phenomenology skill: Occult, etc. This could be used (instead of Perception) in some circumstances to detect traps by noticing anomalies on normal features and items.
