    Is there a reason why I have yet to succeed in unlocking a single chest using Unlocking Cantrip? Or is it bugged? (since I just lost a point in Pickpocketing I am willing to believe its a bug...)

    Please help!!

    it might be, but it could also be your magic aligenment, the higher it is, the better your chance of unlocking a chest or door

    Ah

    So it is magic alignment that determines success? I thought it might be Wisdom, which I will never get high values of. Guess I'll try it again in some levels.

    Thanks!

    You probably lost a point in pickpocket because of wearing heavy gloves.

    THe highest gloves you can wear without losing 'finger dexterity' are chain mail gauntlets. Tey and buy the light-fingered gauntlets if you're at all magickal and just keep them for pickpocketing purposes.
