## Description

The knock spell will open stuck or held or wizard- locked doors. It will also open barred or otherwise locked doors. It causes secret doors to open. The knock spell will also open locked or trick- opening boxes or chests. It will loose shackles or chains as well. If it is used to open a wizbrd-locked door, the knock does not remove the former spell, but it simply suspends its functioning for 1 turn. In all other cases, the knock will permanently open locks or welds - although the former could be closed and locked again thereafter. It will not raise bars or similar impediments (such as a portcullis). The spell will perform two functions, but if a door is locked, barred, and held, opening it will require two knock spells.
