[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 8440264, member: 40552"] I think you need to think about which spells would already be in effect. For instance the whole place (possibly with holes) should be under a [I]Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum[/I] spell. There should be loads of [I]Glyphs of Warding[/I] just waiting to be uncovered and activated. [I]Stinking Cloud[/I] and [I]Cloudkill[/I] are good ones. Remember that glyphs can be beneficial too - [I]Mislead[/I] and [I]Teleportation Circle[/I] come to mind - but anything with a long casting time too. If the wizard has higher-level friends a door opened in just the right way might lead to a [I]Demiplane[/I]. There ought to be interesting variations too: in a library, fire is a hazard so perhaps there's a glyph that sets off a variation of Fog Cloud to quench the fire. I think you also need to think about family and servants. You don't want a curious child or guest accidentally activating anything nasty so there should be specific areas without traps etc. Doors to interesting areas should have permanent [I]Arcane Locks[/I] on them.
