Knocking imitates the sound of a repetitive tap upon wood, as made by a humanoid knuckle or hollow piece of wood. The sound may seem to come from anywhere — a door, from beneath the floor, even from the inside of a tree. Normally, the cantrip's effect will be taken for what it seems, encouraging a creature within to "answer the door" or to try and identify where the sound is coming from. Therefore, the cantrip serves as a distraction, gaining the listener's attention long enough to take a quick action or effect initiative. When the knock is sounded, creatures "in the know" gain a +1 to their initiative.
The spell may also succeed in getting a person within to unknowingly open a locked door, enabling an ambush.
