    You can use detect magic as the spell (PH 219). While the invocation is active, you can end the effect as a full-round action to determine all the properties of a single touched item (as the identify spell, PH 243, but with no components required).


    As I said, it doesn't seem to explicitly have verbal or somatic components, as other invocations do. Would it be purely mental then?


Edit: Dragonfire Adepts also have the line that all invocations have somatic components, meaning dragonfire invocations should fall under the Warlock restriction, too.
Eldritch blast IS an invocation, according to errata. Beside that, the line claiming that all invocations have somatic components explicitly mentions that also the eldritch blast has somatic components.
