	As the basic prerequisite for this work is only knowing spells in either the Minor Spiritual Circle and/or Minor Elemental Circle, at least one of which is accessible by every profession (pending the release of [[Savant\|Savants]]), it may be accomplished by anyone so inclined. Pures will tend to learn the relevant spells incidentally as part of their normal training path, and as such this activity tends to be more of a hobby than something to which characters are dedicated. However, there are limitations, as some boxes resist magic, and the profitability and experience gained will be less than someone dedicated to manual disarming and lockpicking skills.
