Whither Skull Trap?

[Exquisite Dead Guy]

Has the 2nd edition spell Skull Trap been updated to 3.x? Couldn't find a mention of it other than in conjunction with CRPGs.

If not, do you think the old version is balanced for 3.x as is?

Thanks.

I remember this spell, but wasn't it in a Dragon Magazine and not core 2e? IIRC, it was simply just like a symbol trap with a fireball attached to it. Damage was d4 back then and tied to level, but I don't recall the specifics. Maybe you could post them. The Rules Forum is actually the better place to ask.

I could see why this spell got dropped. Appeared in the Complete Wizard IIRC. I used to trap zombies with this and then send them shambling into rooms. Actually, you could use any skull, which meant that animate animal worked as well. Excellent way to clear dungeons.
