Arcane Lock

Arcane lock is a wonderful spell if your character can cast it—or if the caster heads up your stronghold’s security. Otherwise, it can prove more hindrance than help, because only the spellcaster can easily bypass the lock. That’s where improved arcane lock (see below) comes in handy, since it allows the caster to designate others who can freely pass through the portal. Add 5 gp to the price for each individual attuned to the improved arcane lock spell.

Casting: 85 gp (Wiz3) or 105 gp (Sor4 175 gp and up (Wiz5) or 205 gp and up (Sor6) for improved arcane lock.
