Description: This spell magically holds shut a door, gate, chest, window, or shutter and locks it. If the object doesn’t have a lock, this spell creates one that can only be opened with a DC 20 Locks check. Otherwise, the DC of the item’s lock gains a +10 bonus. The item’s break DC also gains a +10 bonus. You can freely pass your own arcane lock without affecting it. Dispel magic or knock spells can only open an arcane lock if they are cast at the same level or higher.

Level 0: At level 0, this spell opens and shuts doors, chests, windows, or other containers provided they weigh less than 30 lbs. At this level, doors are not held shut, nor can the spell open a door that is stuck, locked, barred, or held shut.

Leveling: Can be cast at a higher level to increase the strength of the lock against magical attempts to dispel it.
