New spell idea: Skeleton Key
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2013 5:32 pm
(Name is a placeholder)
A new 4th or 5th-circle Earth spell that, in conjunction with an expensive magecraft recipe, creates a key that can unlock any door.
Limitations:
The key crumbles after one use;
The key should be blatantly magical (glowing or humming);
The key can have a 1-day IC decay on it so you can't just carry it around waiting for it to be useful.
Temi suggests the item might be neat as a humming lockpick, using its vibration to auto-pick the lock; that's pretty cool, I think, so maybe that instead of a key.
