How many tokens does she want to use to charge the lock?  Rules that somebody has probably explained to Opalyn at some point:

- You can't cumulate lock strengths; if you want to charge the lock with more tokens than before, you need to pay over the whole greater fee later.
- Somebody else, if they try to get in, has to guess how many tokens to try to use for an unlock.  They spend all of those tokens, win or lose, and it cancels out her lock if they spent more.

How many tokens does she want to use to charge the lock?  Rules that somebody has probably explained to Opalyn at some point:

- Locks persist until canceled.  You can't cumulate lock strengths; if you want to charge the lock with more tokens than before, you need to pay over the whole greater fee later.
- Somebody else, if they try to get in, has to guess how many tokens to try to use for an unlock.  They spend all of those tokens, win or lose, and it cancels out her lock if they spent more than she did.  If they didn't spend enough, their hard-earned tokens vanish without any effect.

How many tokens does she want to use to charge the lock?  Rules that somebody has probably explained to Opalyn at some point:

- Locks persist until successfully canceled by an intruder.  You can go in and out without canceling the lock.
- Somebody else, if they try to get in, has to guess how many tokens to try to use for an unlock.  They spend all of those tokens, win or lose, and it cancels out her lock if they spent more than she did.  If they didn't spend enough, their hard-earned tokens vanish without any effect.
- You can't cumulate lock strengths with repeated chargings.  If you want to charge the lock with more tokens than before, you need to pay over the whole greater fee.
- Lock strengths decay over time on a slow exponential curve, losing a third of their strength every 81 Capital days.
