Placing his hands near the top of the box and, just in case, standing slightly to the side, Cody gingerly lifted the lid. Peeking inside, he saw a common edible fungus and, of much more interest, an elaborately decorated tome. He eagerly reached in and took both out. The book sparkled in the light, and he admired it for a moment before placing both item in his bag. As he took his hands out, however, he noticed that they, too, now sparkled where they had touched the book. Cody sighed, and thought dark thoughts about wizards who take their decorating advice from twelve-year-old girls.
The easiest way to open a locked container is with a key or lockpick. You can also use a wand of opening or cast a knock spell.
