Stone/metal/wood tree - reform (lock and more)

[thad]

(level 2/3?)

Manipulate Stone/Metal/Wood
Casting time: 1 round
Range: Tough
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: 2mp
Enables caster to move stone/metal/wood things around. Eg unlocking locks. Wind up or unwind watches. (Annoy your enemies... and your friends!) Dunno if you want to go as far as safes etc...

Then either a powerful version to let you move large amounts of stone/metal/wood around, or would that be Meta versions of the spells?

I want to avoid any spell which replaces an ability where possible - like pick locks.

Nothing for moving around large amounts of the stuff - once you get the spells to a certain power level (as D&D did for example) then powerful magic can be used to replace cleverness. Hence, I keep all of the spell power LOW.

was thinking more of obviating the need for actually having lock picks, but there are always ways and means.

Jury rig FTW!
