Notes

• This immediately bypasses all traps and locks on the box so that you can safely open it and collect any treasure inside.
• The original traps and locks remain on the box. If you wish to disarm and pick them, use the key to relock the box.
• LOOK at the key to see how many uses remain. At 999,999,999 uses, it's effectively unlimited.
• You cannot DISMANTLE boxes opened with the skeleton key so you'll need to dispose of them another way.
