This article is about the extended command. For what causes you to teleport, see mysterious force.

#force is the extended command to unlock a container or a door with a weapon, either by prying or by smashing the lock.

Prying with an edged weapon (such as a dagger) is a better method, as it will do no harm to the container and its contents. However, it may break your weapon, so do not pry with your only (or best) weapon! Smashing the box with a blunt weapon (such as a mace) may destroy the whole container including its contents. Smashing the container, therefore, is a very bad idea and it would be best to leave the container until you have some means of unlocking it.
