Description

A metal key with a few large teeth.

Usage

Used to lock or unlock different kinds of locks despite matters of permissions or who the lock's original creator was.

A copy of a key will lock or unlock the same lock which the original key does.

Notes

  • The quality of the key form affects your success chance when creating.
  • The quality of the copper lump affects the quality of the resulting key.
  • Original keys that are created along with certain types of lock are made of iron instead of copper.
  • The original key's quality will always match the lock's quality.
  • A copy of a key will include "It has some weird dents" in its examine description, even when a copy of a copy.
  • Original keys placed in trash heaps do not decay, nor do they decay when left off-deed. Sacrificing keys in an altar does, however, effectively eliminate them.
