Barricade is a defensive spell. To use it, the caster touches a door frame or similar small opening no more than 9 feet (or 3 meters) in diameter, which immediately causes a spiderweb-like magical barrier to form across that opening, approximately three inches thick. Like an actual spider web, the barricade is nearly invisible from a distance. Unlike a normal web, the threads represent an invisible wall of "solid" material roughly 3 inches (or 8 centimeters) thick.
Though sights, sounds, smells, and non-physical magical effects can pass through the barricade, physical objects cannot. Physical objects can technically force the barricade open, but to do so quickly requires explosive force. Like stone, the barricade can be broken down with many consecutive strikes from a pick or similar implement, though this process usually takes a minute or longer.
Normally, the caster can only have one barricade active, as a new one will replace the previous. The user cannot pass through the barricade better than anyone else. The barricade will eventually disappear if the user wanders away from it for an hour or so. As a side effect, the barricade can be used to significantly reinforce its frame; for instance, a triangle of mere Deku Sticks will become locked into a triangle, should a barricade form between them.
The Barricade treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
