Scarpin's Revelaspell (incantation unknown) was a spell that was used to correctly identify the ingredients of a given potion.[1]
History
During the 1996–1997 school year, Professor Horace Slughorn instructed his sixth-year Potions class to use this spell in a lesson on antidotes, although most of them were absolutely clueless.
