    Only someone with Open Lock skill or Knock spell can open a lock unless you manage to force it open by pure force.

    Maybe there is an item that can cast Knock? I've been meaning to check that out, but haven't done it yet.

    . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Mage spell favorites:
    - Spell Trigger - and it's little brother Spell Sequencer.
    - Stone Skin
    - Simulacrum - and Project Image.
    - Chaos
    - Magic Missile - that old workhorse. ;)

    Druid favorites:
    - Insect Plague
    - Iron Skin
    - Conjure Fire Elemental
    (I have no experience with level 7 druid spells.)

    Cleric favorites:
    - Animate Dead - after reaching 15th level.
    - Chaotic Commands
    - Holy Smite
    - Blade Barrier - cast Sanctuary too and have some fun! ;)
    - Cure Light Wounds - as classic as Magic Missile! :)

    That Blade Barrier and Sanctuary combo isn't bad. I actually saw that used yesterday when I played. I was in the Drow tavern and fighting in the rings, when a Drow Priestess used that combo, with regenerating as well! But Vic got her in the end, and although tempted to conjure up a Skeleton Warrior, I decided to let Vic show off that she didn't need any frickin help, that she would tear that punk priestess up. And she did :D
    Gosh there are still a few spells I haven't even tried yet. I know I haven't tried Wizard Eye, I need to try that one. I really like Sphere of Chaos, Polymorph Other, Vampiric Touch, Stoneskin, Mislead and Shadow Door. Well I pretty much like them all. I find the spellcasting in this game more appealing than the fighting side of it. I think I'm going to do a party of all magic users next. Something like two sorcerers, two specialists, a cleric, and a druid. And to make things more interesting, I'll bump up the difficulty a notch :D

    Mage:

    Magic Missile
    Project Image
    Fireshiled Red(looks cool)
    Death Spell
    Time Stop
    Summon Invisible Stalker

    Cleric:

    Finger of Death
    Animate Dead
    Gate (after protection from Evil)
    Summon Mountain Bears (these can tank!)
    Sanctuary (a brilliant spell)

    As you can see I like instant death and summon spells and dislike area effect spells. I use quite alot of magic actually (main PC a mage at present)
