Here's what I THINK Sketos' crystal fingernail may be:
Crystal of:
-Amplifying
-Lightening
-Memory
-Power
-Psychic Beacon
-Recovery
-Scrying
-Sensing
-Shielding
-Storage
Or Just a Crystal.
So Li's going to do some experimenting.
First, Li will meditate and try to mentally explore the crystal, using the Mental Contact skill, which can be used untrained. Li has +1 from his Cha bonus. He will particularly look for:
-Anything he can get out of the crystal with Mental Contact (if he gets something out, it a Memory Crystal)
-The Crystal Glowing (which would indicate a Sensing Crystal)
-Reduced Strain from using Mental Contact (indicating a Power Crystal or Storage Crystal)
-Faster Recovery from strain (indicating a Recovery Crystal)
If he doesn't observe anything from Mental Contact, he will try Enhance Ability on himself. He will try to notice:
-If the results of the Enhance Ability check are better then expected (indicating an Amplifying Crystal)
Li will also take note if he feels lighter then usual (unlikely, but that would indicate a Lightening Crystal)
And I think that's it. If none of those tests indicate a power, Li will be out of ideas.
And, from a roleplaying point of view, I figure this is something Li would do. he woudn't view the results the way I do, but using Mental Contact to try to identify it, then using Enhance Ability to see if it increases his mental prowess is completely reasonable.
