a trap

[TheTravizar 29]

This is an explanation of the Library of Sutica's defensive, magic booby trap.

 

upon descending into the underground chamber, one would see that the floor has been paved with tiles. In their center is a large mana gem. Any practitioner of voidal magic would be able to tell that the floor is heavily enchanted. Also, above the floor, near the ceiling floats a collection of heavy stone slabs.

 

The stones are held up by a telekinetic enchantment. The floor is enchanted to cast an abjuration to cancel the telekinetic spell should anyone take more than 3 steps across the floor, or stand on it for more than 3 seconds. Furthermore, the floor's enchantment is fixed with a verbal trigger that can disrupt the magic for a short time. That verbal trigger is known only to the Librarian at present.

 

The floor is also warded against abjuration by a T5 ward.

 

The walls to either side are made of stone and topped with sharp iron blades.

 

The falling stone, if triggered, would be heavy enough to crush the skull of anyone beneath them.

 

The unwelcome guest, or thieving interloper would find to their dismay that once they have entered the chamber, the only way out is across the trap itself.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
