A [[:Category: Larceny | Larceny]] Capstone of [[:Category: Oberan | Oberan]] this capstone does the following:

'''Lock-o-pedia'''
Having encountered thousands of locks in his lifetime, Oberan’s decades of experience culminated in some sort of mental encyclopedia of all the lock types he has come across, from simple padlocks, to simple safety latches, to vault doors with combination locks, to magical contraptions. It is exactly this knowledge that allows him to breach any lock he’s encountered before in a quick and efficient manner.

When picking a lock he’s never seen before, this intimate understanding of locks allows Oberan to notice the similarities between it and those in his mental encyclopedia. This grants him the knowledge of how to circumvent it without needing several hours of research. Opening such a lock will take a little longer than usual, however.

The same holds true for locks with no similarities to those Oberan has picked before. Using his knowledge of locks as a basis, he can quickly figure out the mechanisms behind the contraption as he explores it, allowing him to pick it without requiring extensive research. He will need some more time compared to devices with similarities to those he has experience with.
