Okay, here is the formula for [[Lock Pick Enhancement (403)|403]] and [[Disarm Enhancement (404)|404]], give or take:

Level/2 + Skill Bonus/10 + [[Dexterity|Dex]] Bonus/2 + (something)

That will be underestimating things by around 5-10 points.

It depends on if the end use if a manual or magical lock opening.

;403
For manual lockpicking, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's [[Picking Locks|Pick Locks]] skill, the caster's Minor Elemental spell ranks, and the target's Dexterity bonus. At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Pick Locks skill.

For magical lockpicking, the target of the Unlock spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and Aura bonus, regardless of who cast Picking Enhancement upon them.

;404
For manual disarming, success factors include the caster's level, the caster's [[Disarming Traps|Disarm Traps]] skill, the caster's [[Minor Elemental]] spell ranks, and the target's Intuition bonus (if the character is not currently working on a trap) or Dexterity bonus (if the character has found a trap recently, but has yet to disarm it). At no time will the spell provide a bonus greater than the target's Disarm Traps skill.

For magical disarming, the caster of the Disarm spell receives a bonus based on their own Minor Elemental spell ranks and [[Aura]] bonus, regardless of who cast Disarm Enhancement upon them.
