You touch one closable, inanimate item and designate a password. If someone opens the item without saying the password, the item explodes in a ball of flame. Each creature within 10 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The item itself takes no damage from this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 3rd level or higher spell slot, the damage increases by 1d6, or you may extend the area of effect by 5 feet, for each slot level above 2nd.
