We may be approaching a time when the information from Identify and Lore should be purposefully obscured...
Putting up command words would indeed be a bad idea. Personally, I don't know why you would need to separate "special" items, either. Is it really necessary to rob players of the experience of discovering something unique and exciting by enumerating the objects in Thera that have "special powers"? Imagine the first time you used a black hammer and had no idea what it was. What a thrilling find that would be. I realize a lot of those items are now hoarded and aren't often seen, but so much the better. I absolutely hate seeing some level 1 guy explaining to another player what his (list item of power here) does, when there's no way he would know that. Lists like that only encourage that blase wonderlack that's already a problem in the game.
