Name Open / Lock
Vocals “By the power of the elements I move Earth with Air and unfasten that seal – Open” or “…and fasten that seal – Lock”
Range 30ft / 10m
Duration Instantaneous
Cost 1 magic point
Key Words Lesser / Elemental
Description This spell instantaneously locks or unlocks a single standard quality lock, at range and without requiring a key or lockpicks. It will not function on enchanted locks, or locks made from cold iron.


A spellcaster with the Device Proficiency skill can draw on their knowledge of mechanisms to open higher-quality locks with this spell; this consumes one use of their skill as if they had unlocked the lock manually, in addition to the magic cost.

Opening a lock magically doesn’t necessarily duplicate the use of the correct key, and may e.g. trigger any traps present on the lock.

This spell may require the presence of a referee.
