Description

magically locks a portal or chest.

an arcane lock spell cast upon a door, chest, or portal magically locks it. you can freely pass your own arcane lock without affecting it. if the locked object has a lock, the dc to open that lock increases by 10 while it remains attached to the object. if the object does not have a lock, this spell creates one that can only be opened with a dc 20 disable device skill check. a door or object secured with this spell can be opened only by breaking in or with a successful dispel magic or knock spell. add 10 to the normal dc to break open a door or portal affected by this spell. a knock spell does not remove an arcane lock; it only suppresses the effect for 10 minutes.
