While identify can divine the nature of many magical items, this spell was conceived to learn a bit about the lore, general abilities and particularities of the item.

Casting object insight on an item give a vague description of the item, who made/used it and it properties, however it will give relevant information. The total amount of information gleaned from a casting is usually no more than 3 to 4 sentences. Multiple casting reveal the same information. If an item is cursed, then the caster must make a DC 10 + item's caster level check, successfully doing so reveal the item as cursed. For example if one was to use Object Insight on an ordinary longsword a possible outcome would be:

"A longsword from the land of Dasmas, made from high grade steel. Such swords are usually passed from father to son, this particular blade was most likely looted from the battlefield and sold to common brigands."

While an artifact longsword with a relevant wielder would be decsribed more like this:

"A nameless blade wielded by the undead swordsman Aritos, blessed with fantastic magical power it is so sharp it can cleave through countless opponent in one swing. Artitos came to the land of Dasmas in the hope of finding his long lost love, sadly he only found undeath."
