Identifying Cursed Items

[reveal]

Let's say I am a mage and I find a sword. Unbeknownest to me, the sword carries a curse. So I cast Detect Magic to see if it's magical and it is.

My question, would I, with a successful Spellcraft check, know that the item is cursed? If so, what DC would I use?

Also, if I cast Identify on the item and went through the Identification process, would I find out that it was cursed?

Nope, cursed items generally appear beneficial to all tests.

Now, an analyze dweomer might pick up some clues if bestow curse was in the creation process or whatnot.
