A ring can be identified only by an identify ring, wand, or staff scroll. A weapon can be identified only by an identify weapon scroll. Armor can be identified only by an identify armor scroll. ONLY A WAND OR A STAFF CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY ANY IDENTIFY SCROLL. It does work, rosecran -- even on uiucdcsb. I've done it many times.
