Good point.
If/when spells that break security measures are relatively easy and accessible, then wizards will tend to stop counting on those security measures.
If someone had a spell that could seize ownership of a wizard's staff, wizards who wanted their enchanted staffs to be safe (and not attract murderous looters) might tend to put Expunge spells on them that activate if anyone tries those spells on them (or tries to dissolve the expunge spell). The net effect being you've researched a new spell which only helps against people who haven't yet learned about it and done that.
