This Artifact grants you the power to lock, unlock, or open things.
Used by The Doctor, Created by WIZARDBATTLE.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must use this Artifact obviously when activating this Effect.)

Psychic interface, just point and think.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is not made of wood.

You may lock, unlock, and/or open any number of doors, locks, or locked targets within 300 feet of you. This can be used on Alien technology.

If you successfully operate a lock, you may choose to destroy it, rendering it inoperable.

  • Any door or restraint that is fastened or shut with a mechanism may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. Can be used on control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems.
  • If you operate a locking mechanism through this Effect which has some other secondary effect (such as the ignition on a car causing the car to start) you may cause that effect as well.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
