-'''Knock''' compels the opening of any door, gate or portal, whether it's [[Dungeon Door|stuck]], mechanically locked or [[Hold Portal (spell)|held]], including doors that are barred from the inside.  The spell cannot, however, open a [[Wizard Lock (spell)|wizard locked]] door.
+'''Knock''' is a spell that compels the opening of any door, gate or portal that was constructed to open, regardless of obstruction. It will release a [[Dungeon Door|stuck]] door, disengage mechanical locks, overcome a [[Hold Portal (spell)|held]] effect and force open portals that are barred from the far side. The spell does not affect a [[Wizard Lock (spell)|wizard locked]] door, which remains sealed against it.

-If [[Spellcasting|discharged]] over an area 10 ft. square, the spell forces open existing [[Concealed Door|concealed]] or [[Secret Door|secret doors]] within that space, even if these cannot be seen.  Once the spell is made active, the caster may continue to open portals for an hour, or until the caster reaches the number limit according to his or her level.
+Once the spell is set in motion, its effect persists. For the next hour, or until the caster has reached the number of openings permitted by level, the caster may continue to compel additional portals to open without recasting the spell, provided each lies within reach of the effect as it is applied.
-The spell cannot force open a space that wasn't structurally designed to open; thus, the caster cannot fabricate a portal through a wall.  If a blockage of some kind exists, such as a collapsed ceiling, that also cannot be overcome by the spell.
+== Limitations ==
-However, knock is able to open the portal despite [[Traps|traps]] (though the opening will set these off) or against a weight of water or other liquid that's piled up behind the door (and therefore causing a deluge).
+Knock operates without regard for consequence. If a portal is trapped, the trap is triggered as the door is forced open. If pressure is held behind the door — water, sand or other material — the spell will release it, often with sudden and dangerous effect. The magic compels the opening; it does not moderate what follows.
