Unlock Magic

The spell Unlock Magic is exactly what it says and unlocks magically locked doors and chests.

Spell Description
Mages and other magic users have the habit of magically locking doors and chests with spells – like with the Magic Lock spell. These doors and chests, recognized by the green-glowing (sometimes blue) locks, usually have something important or valuable behind them. In order to get these items, the Unlock Magic spell is a blessing. Casting it on a magically locked door or chest will destroy the locking magic, and it can be opened without further trouble.

Skull keys have the same effect but are single-use items.

The simpler Open spell is used to open non-magical locks and does not work on magical locks.

Trivia

 * In Ultima VI it is possible to first magically lock an already locked door, and then use this spell to unlock it. This causes all locks to vanish and the door can be opened without further hassle.
