__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Unlock''' is a utility</noinclude><includeonly>Utility</includeonly> spell that allows the caster to attempt to unlock containers.<section end=description /> This spell can also be used to attempt to pop open typical doors. When the spell is successful, the container or door being targeted will pop open.

The success of the spell is a percentage which is based on the [[level]] of the caster along with the caster's [[Aura]] bonus. Also, the level or difficulty of the container is taken into account.

This spell can potentially set off any trap that is on the target object. Typically the trap is not set off on a successful cast. In order to make this spell more effective, the caster can also use the spell [[Picking Enhancement (403)]]. However, the duration of Picking Enhancement immediately ends after each use of Unlock, regardless of success.

There are also certain materials, such as [[mithril]] which are resistant to this spell, as well as any boxes which are enruned.

A small amount of experience, typically around 10 points, is gained for each box successfully Unlocked.

==Lore Benefit==

Training in [[Elemental Lore, Water]] will corrode a lock on unsuccessful casts. Each corrosion of the lock will subtract from the lock's difficulty based on a seed 1 [[summation]] of ranks, up to a total reduction of 10% of the lock difficulty. The effect lasts 60 seconds and is refreshed on successive casts, while the corrosion is cumulative upon each cast (up to 10%).
