Certain types of demon have a long (very long) history of collecting
information about creatures, items and other things in the material
plane.  By summoning and consulting with one of these demons, you may
learn something new.

You can summon demons to consult with for several types of information:

summon demon [soulstone] identify <object>
summon demon [soulstone] lockinfo <door/object>
summon demon [soulstone] job [object name]

For identify, the demon will examine an object you have on hand and give
you information about where it comes from and possible uses, if it knows
any. This costs a green soulstone.

For lockinfo, the demon will examine a door and attempt to ascertain what
key unlocks it, if any. This costs a pale blue soulstone.

For jobs, the demon will attempt to give you an idea of where an object
you need for a job is located, and possibly information about the object.
If no object name is specified, the demon will attempt to find information
about the object needed for the first retrieval job on your job list. As
it is based on you describing what you are seeking second-hand rather
than the examination of an object, the cost is rather steep: a pale blue
soulstone.

Demons will not assist with priest-assigned jobs - indeed, they are
forbidden to do so. Demons dispense information within the boundaries of
the Unified Accords and may not be able to disclose details about
certain items.

Also, with this skill, a necromancer intent on committing acts of
evil and malice can further his knowledge on such wickedness by
consorting with a demon using the method:

summon demon [soulstone] temptations

By offering a purple soulstone or better as recompense, a demon may
answer the summons and impart any ideas it may have that serve such
necromancers' evil goals, thus aiding them along the path toward
prime evil.
