Merchants and others with riches to protect detest this simple spell. It works on normal or electronic locks. With it and sufficient skill, a mage may open any lock with up to a -4 penalty (see Lockpicking).

Success Levels:

• Good: Opens heavy or electronic locks with a penalty up to –6.
• Outstanding: Opens any lock silently and avoids any alarms or wards placed on it. Note that some very powerful “seals“ are not necessarily “locks,“ however.
