Actually the spell can interact with an object once per round. You can claim that every 5 ft square is an object - I wouldn’t allow that but that’s up to your DM. Perhaps you could claim that each individual flagstone is a object, I’m not so sure. My feeling is that the spell is clearly designed for completing household chores not searching dungeons. I would be leery of expanding a rituals use to something clearly beyond the examples described in the spell.Whoa, whoa, whoa - we just spent the past twenty pages being told that casters absolutely DON'T have any exploration abilities. That choosing these abilities are huge investments and no characters would EVER use them. I mean, didn't you argue against using unseen servant just a page or so back.
And, I really didn't understand it then. Unseen servant pushes down with 30 pounds of force every round, every 5 feet. This catches most traps in a corridor. That means I'm moving 5 feet every round, or 50 feet per minute. That's 500 feet per AD&D turn, or just a bit faster than FOUR TIMES the expected indoor travel speed in AD&D. And you're complaining that this is too slow? How fast do you think the party moves in a dungeon?
