System/Skills/Appraisal

Appraisal is one of system's skills that allows to get information about other objectis withim system, if said objects are targeted by this skill.

It efficenty changes drastically with every skill level. Level 1 Appraisal gives nothing but headache and just a name of scanned object. Frequent uses, however, can level up Appraisal quickly, allowing it to give more text information, show thorough stats and even targed something other than pure material objects (for example, specific words shown by Appraisal earlier). It should be noted that Ruler skill gives option to block all Appraisal attemps, and Appraisal can't scan objects that are not belong to system (like gods or ancient robots)

At level 10 Appraisal alone does not give any new skill, however, this can be modded by high-level Administrators like 'D'.

Appraisal giving information to user is usually harmful to user's soul (human can feel it as headache), so most humans prefer to use Appraisal gems instead of developing this skill. Using the gem seems to not harm the user nor the gem.

Appraisal is first and very useful skill learned by Kumoko at beginning of her path. She relied on it's effect for entirety of her mortal life. However, as she became goddess Shiraori, she lost all system skills including Appraisal, forcing her to seek alternatives.
