Effect: This false
trap is designed to fool the dwarf and/or thief
attempting to pilfer or otherwise steal the spell caster's goods.
It enables the magic-user
to place a dweomer upon any small mechanism or device
such as a lock, hinge, hasp,
screw-on cap, ratchet, etc.
Any examination by a character
able to detect traps will be 80% likely to note the Leomund's Trap and
believe it to be real.
This probability reduces
by 4% for each level of experience of the examiner beyond the first.
If the supposed "trap" is
then to be removed,
it is only 20% likely that
the creature attempting it will believe he or she has succeeded,
+4% probability per level
of experience of the remover.
Of course, the spell is
illusory, nothing will happen if the trap is ignored,
and its primary purpose
is to frighten away thieves or make them waste precious time.
Only one Leomund's Trap
may be placed within a 50' by 50' area.
MC: A piece of iron
pyrite touched to the object to be "trapped".
