Effect
The spell can open or close a door, chest, box, window, bag, pouch, bottle, barrel or similar object. If a lock, bar or other obstruction resists the movement, the spell fails.
The 30-pound limit also prevents it from moving oversized doors, lids or containers beyond the spell’s strength.
Using Open/Close
The spell is useful for manipulating ordinary objects from a short distance, testing whether something is obstructed or closing a container without walking up to it. It does not bypass locks or force secured portals.
Focus
A brass key.
