ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've had it happen to two different characters in the past few minutes. I first "identified" a copper amulet which showed as a copper amulet, second time was a ring but same result...no properties shown it just identified as a copper ring. Unless there are items out there with no properties....

not a bug

there are some normal plain non-ego regular bland old run-of-the-mill amulets, you just got unlucky
