You're right of course -- I hadn't thought of that. In some ways though, I'm happy with that method. It's the right person doing it, a spell has been cast to achieve it, and it encourages Ritual use. Resource-wise, it makes no difference, but thematically, the right buttons are being pushed.Identify can be cast a as a ritual by a wizard - so it takes 11 minutes, and doesn't use a spell slot, or need to be prepared for the day.
