Key, Door, Portal-related Spells

[darkelfo]

My toon is working on a series of Wonderous Items that are door/portal related. I'm trying to get collect door/portal/lock-related spells. Here is my initial list:

Knock (lvl 2, PHB)
Arcane Lock (lvl 2, PHB)
Detect Secret Doors (lvl 1, PHB)
Open/Close (Cantrip, PHB)
Silent Portal (cantrip, Magic of Faerun)
Battering Ram (lvl 2, Magic of Faerun)
Analyze Portal (lvl 3, Faerun Campaign Setting)

Anyone know of any others? I'm leaving Hold Portal out because Arcane Lock is better. The goal is to create a series of magical keys that serve some of the functions of these spells. Spells that assist in lockpicking, opening doors and also in locking doors or increasing hardness of doors are needed.

Alarm (lvl 1, PHB)

 

[Staffan]

Arcane Seal, level 3, Sharn: City of Towers.

Don't leave out Hold Portal... it might not be permanent like Arcane Lock, but it has no costly material component, and I think the casting time for AL is longer than 1 round. So your wonderous item would have a different cost to key out of when figuring the cost of creation...

Any one know of any other spells that fortify doors or other items (add to hardness, etc.)?

Let's see... stuff from the SRD:

Ironwood. Nothing like turning that 2-inch thick Strong Wooden door (hardness 5, 20 hp) into a 2-inch thick (effectively) iron door (Hardness 10, 60 hp).

Stone Shape (Permits making crude doors and such, although there's "a 30% chance that any shape including moving parts simply doesn’t work.")

Fabricate (A door is a "product" right?) -Very useful in conjunciton with Wall of Iron / Wall of Stone / Wall of Ice - Instant Door!

Illusory Wall - could include an illusionary door, right?

Polymorph any Object (Turn stuff into doors.... or doors into stuff)

Any of the Symbol of X spells (Pick the Activation Method for "passes through a portal bearing the rune")

Phase Door (Make a passage)

Mage's Magnificent Mansion (Makes a door into a nondimensional mansion)

Demension Door and Gate (Different kind of door, I know)

(Greater) Glyph of Warding - same as the Symbols, really

Hi!

Maybe you want to consult your Stronghold Builders Guidebook (3.0)?
Page 41: Spell: Augment Object (Break DC +20, Hardness x2);
Pages 42 and following: Doors, Windows and Locks;
Page 51: Improved Arcane Lock (You may include other characters than "you" to pass the ALed door freely);

In addition, check the DMG, p. 59, Magically Treated Walls, to get information about treating doors magically.

Kind regards

Woooot! I was just asking about that spell! To think I had it in one of my really old books! Thanks!
