Bouncing Box Looking into the keyhole you see what seems to be a pin lodged against the tumblers of the lock. Connected to the pin is a small shaft that runs downward into a shadow.

Will toss out the contents of the box as it's bouncing, one per room (may take several bounces to start), until it runs out, upon which it is destroyed.

That looks fine, aside from the various typos. I would suggest merging this page and the Boxes page you created into the Locksmithing skill page, since there's already a bit of duplication and it doesn't really need to be spread out over multiple pages like that.--ABSOLON (talk) 22:27, 17 December 2014 (CST)
