<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Lock Pick Enhancement''' (also called Picking Enhancement and Lock Lore) allows</noinclude><includeonly>Allows</includeonly> the caster to give the target a bonus on both their magical and non-magical picking attempts.<section end=description /><br />
<br />
In manual [[Picking Locks|lock picking]] (picking with a [[lockpick]]) there are a number of factors which influence the bonus. This includes the caster's level, the caster's ranks in both [[Minor Elemental]] spells and Pick Locks skills, along with the target's [[Dexterity]] bonus. At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Pick Locks skill.<br />
<br />
When the target is performing magical lock picking, the bonus is related only to the target's [[Aura]] bonus along with the target's Minor Elemental spell ranks.<br />
<br />
If the caster does not have personal knowledge of the spell (for example, casting it from a scroll), the bonus is reduced by 10% to 50%, depending on the caster's ability to activate the item with the spell. Further, casting the spell on a target other than the caster results in an additional 50% loss to the bonus. In a situation where both penalties are applicable, the item-cast penalty is applied first, and the non-self-cast penalty is applied to the result of that.<br />
<br />
==Picking Locks Bonus==<br />
<br />
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=400px}}><center><tt>'''Bonus = MIN(Picking Locks Bonus, (TRUNC(level / 2) + TRUNC(Picking Locks Bonus / 10) + Dexterity Bonus + TRUNC(MnE Ranks / 4)))</tt></center></div><br />
<br />
Reduce by 10-50% if caster does not know the spell (using scroll or item).<br />
<br />
Reduce by additional 50% if not self-cast.<br />
<br />
==Lore Benefit==<br />
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Water]] will remove 1 point per seed 10 [[summation]] of ranks of potential damage to a lockpick on a failed picking attempt. The potential damage to a lockpick can be completely removed, but any previous damage will not be fixed by Water Lore. The bonus will apply when cast on others.<br />
