Properties

Arcane Lock is an evocation cantrip that allows the caster to lock down magical energy within a 10-foot radius for up to one minute. The spell requires the caster to make a Constitution saving throw, and those who fail take damage equal to their Constitution modifier.

Effects

If the target is locked down by Arcane Lock, its DC for any Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throws increases by 1. Additionally, any creature that attempts to attack a locked target takes an additional 1d4 force damage.

Application in a tabletop RPG setting

Arcane Lock can be used as a tool for controlling and manipulating magical energy within the game world. It can be employed by wizards, clerics, or other spellcasters to create a safe distance between themselves and their enemies.
