This cantrip enables the caster to conjure an invisible, key-like force appropriate to the locking mechanism to be opened (or closed). The unlock cantrip affects only a simple lock of the most basic sort—typically one that has a closing pressure prong, bolt and pins, or a bolt and spring closure. A lock with tumblers or levers, or a secret combination lock, is not subject to this cantrip. Note that a simple lock with complex wards to prevent skeleton key triggering is subject to an unlock cantrip.
While the caster speaks a word or phrase associated with locks (“tick-tock-doublelock” or “yay-el” for example) while making makes a twisting motion with fingers held as if to grasp a key.
