Sepia Snake Ward

Conjuration (Creation) [Force]
Level: Commerce 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Target: One touched pouch or lock

”I almost feel sorry for the thieves.``

This spell functions as Sepia Snake Sigil (including the augmentation option), except as noted here.

When cast on a pouch, the snake strikes those who would attempt to use Sleight of Hand to sneak into the pouch or steal the pouch as a whole using the Sleight of Hand skill.

When cast on a lock, the snake strikes those who would attempt to force it open with the Open Lock skill.

Simply attempting to access the container normally does not trigger the spell.

The hidden ward cannot be detected by normal observation, and Detect Magic reveals only that the pouch or lock is magical.

Note: Magic traps such as Sepia Snake Wards are hard to detect and disable. A rogue (only) can use the Search skill to find the runes and Disable Device to thwart them. The DC in each case is 25 + spell level, or 28 for a Sepia Snake Ward.
