You can lock or unlock (your choice) a door, chest, box, window, bag, shackles, chains, pouch, bottle, barrel, or other container. The spell can only lock or unlock things weighing no more than 25 pounds per Power point expended.
You can attempt a Tinker check with a +10 enhancement bonus to open or close the lock, even if you are untrained and do not have a skill rank in Tinker.
If the object does not have a lock, it becomes stuck or unstuck instead. You can attempt to burst open a stuck door by making a Charisma check with a +4 bonus.
If the object has a bar or a slide bolt, one is moved per Power point expended.
Heightened: Each additional Power point makes the spell affect a larger object. Each additional 2 Power points adds a +2 bonus to the Charisma check to burst open a door, a +5 enhancement bonus to open or close a lock, and allows you to move an additional bar or slide bolt.
