The spell, Picking Enhancement, allows the caster to give the target a bonus on both their magical and non magical picking attempts.

In manual lock picking (picking with a lock pick) there are a number of factors which influence the bonus. This includes the caster's level, the caster's ranks in both [[minor elemental]] Spells and [[Pick Locks]] skill, along with the targets [[dexterity]] bonus.

When the target is performing magical lock picking, the bonus is related only to the targets [[aura]] bonus along with the target's [[minor elemental]] spell ranks.

If the spell is being cast from a scroll and the caster does not have personal knowledge of the spell (7 ranks in [[minor elemental]] spells) the spell looses 10 to 50% of its effectiveness. And this is if the caster is self-casting it. If the caster is casting the spell onto another, the bonus is reduced by another 50%.
