An arcane lockspell cast upon a door, chest, or portal magically locks it. You can freely pass your own arcane lockwithout affecting it; otherwise, a door or object secured with this spell can be opened only by breaking in or with a successful dispel magicor knockspell. Add 10 to the normal DC to break open a door or portal affected by this spell. (A knockspell does not remove an *arcane lock;*it only suppresses the effect for 10 minutes.)
