Spell Matrix identification

[Tywyll]

I feel like I remember reading somewhere that you automatically know what spells are bound into a spirit spell matrix. Simply touching it tells you what the spell is.

Am I making that up? Is that something from an earlier edition? If I'm wrong, how do you identify spell matrices?

IIRC, if you are able to use a matrix, you know what it is. If there is no condition on the enchantment, you are able to use it by touching it.

If my memory serves me well, I recall the same thing.
