I have a 5th level Cloistered Cleric (Unearthed Arcana, Pg 50-51).
According to the description, He gets the "Knowledge" domain and the following spells on his Cleric Spell list: Message (0), Erase, Identify, Unseen Servant (1), etc....

The spell description for "Identify" (Players Handbook, Pg 243) states that the Components for this spell are V,S,M/DF. The "Arcane Material Component" is a 100GP pearl, etc.
Since this is now a "Divine" spell, does it still require the pearl, or only the "Divine Focus" of a Holy symbol?

The Players Handbook description on Divine Focus (Players Handbook, Pg 174) states:
"...If the Components line includes F/DF or M/DF, the arcane version of the spell has a focus component or a material component (the abbreviation before the slash) and the divine version has a divine focus component (the abbreviation after the slash)".

It seems like I wouldnt need the component.
Any other comments?

You don't need the pearl to cast a divine Identify.

Kicks aft, don't it? :)
