How does anything stay locked?

Yes. Although, the more mana and other power an IQ 18 wizard has access to, the less I'm liable to expect him to want to do routine bank vault safety duty.

Though one mitigating strategy, is to make sure there are always at least two gates to a otherwise-inaccessible treasure vault, and NEVER use the last gate unless you're in a position to create a replacement. (Because you might crit fail and use all your mana trying to stabilize the gate... meaning no second chance unless you had 100 ST available.)

If you have a backup gate, then you don't have to have the gate wizard present for every crossing. You just need him to make you a new gate to replace when one goes down.

Of course, it becomes a problem if circumstances ever develop that there is no gate wizard available, and you really need to access the vault...
