==Factors for Success==

Okay, here are the factors for success at each of the three tasks, by default, in a very particular order. Some traps may add their own modifiers. I don't think there's anything revolutionary here.

Spotting [[trap]]s: 
Helps - [[Disarming Traps]] skill, [[Intuition]] bonus, [[Perception]] skill, [[Disarm Enhancement (404)|Traplore]], [[Presence]], [[Self Control]], good lighting, [[Song of Luck (1006)|Lucksong]] (helps your luck) 
Hurts - Trap discovery difficulty, wounds, [[amunet]], [[Sounds]], [[Interference]], [[Weapon Deflection]], bad lighting, fog, fumbles 

Disarming traps: 
Helps - Disarm skill, [[Dexterity]] bonus, Lucksong (helps your luck), Traplore, Self Control, good lighting, "modding down" 
Hurts - Trap disarming difficulty, fumbles, amunet, Sounds, Interference, Weapon Deflection, bad lighting, fog, wounds

[[Picking Locks|Picking]]: 
Helps - Picking skill, Dexterity bonus, [[Locklore]], [[lockpick]], open rolls, "modding down" 
Hurts - Wounds, not enough skill for the used lockpick, fumbles

==ESP Penalty Removal==

Having an activated thought net (via crystal amulet or any other method) no longer provides a penalty to disarming traps or any other form of locksmithing. Locksmiths should feel free to use their regained rights to telepathically converse with other townsfolk.

}}Okay, here is the formula for [[Lock Pick Enhancement (403)|403]] and [[Disarm Enhancement (404)|404]], give or take:

[[Level]]/2 + Skill Bonus/10 + [[Dexterity|Dex]] Bonus/2 + (something)

That will be underestimating things by around 5-10 points.

}}It depends on if the end use if a manual or magical lock opening.

;403
For manual lockpicking, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's [[Picking Locks|Pick Locks]] skill, the caster's Minor Elemental spell ranks, and the target's Dexterity bonus. At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Pick Locks skill.

For magical lockpicking, the target of the [[Unlock (407)|Unlock]] spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and [[Aura]] bonus, regardless of who cast Picking Enhancement upon them.

;404
For manual disarming, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's [[Disarming Traps|Disarm Traps]] skill, the caster's [[Minor Elemental]] spell ranks, and the target's [[Intuition]] bonus (if the character is not currently working on a trap) or Dexterity bonus (if the character has found a trap recently, but has yet to disarm it). At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Disarm Traps skill.

For magical disarming, the caster of the [[Disarm (408)|Disarm]] spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and [[Aura]] bonus, regardless of who cast Disarm Enhancement upon them.

>Interestingly enough, -1275 is the last lock in the range of [[Lock difficulty|Absurdly Well-Crafted]]. I have found no critter box in the range of Exceedingly Complex (-1280 to -1315), so it's possible that Absurdly Well-Crafted is the highest that a box will generate.

Either -1275 or -1280 is the max that whichever Ithzir has the big boxes will produce (and thus is the largest that is routinely created by the box generation system), yep.
