How it works

Lock Zone forges a tool for commanding domes. Hold an item that cannot be placed and wake the rune. The item becomes a one-charge Lock Zone Tool, bound to the pattern's Zone signature.

Right-click any block with the tool to mark it. Lock Zone marks the block (Tier 3, radius 64). From then on, right-click the marked block to open or close every Secret Passage and Phase Zone of the same signature whose centre lies within reach. Lock Zone commands 2 dome(s).

The reach grows with Tier, from 32 blocks at Tier 1 to 128 at Tier 7.

Keys

Set a Tier 1 or higher block at the pattern's heart to key the Lock Zone. A keyed mark answers only while its key block sits beside it. The Lock Zone needs its key beside it. Leave the heart empty for an unkeyed mark.

Good to know

Break the marked block with a sword to unravel it. Break the Lock Zone with a sword to unravel it.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Lock Zone. Hold a non-placeable item (not a block) while you wake the rune.
