You could also have some sort of column/crystal/staff in the center of the room. This object is covered in runes which flow into swirling designs that cover the floor. For every PC worried it's a trap, there will be one hoping it's a sign of treasure. IN FACT! Give them clues that there is indeed a great treasure hidden at this location. Make sure everyone is in the room with the symbols, wait for one of the players to say his PC searches the room, touches the object, wipes his nose... They don't know what will trigger it, so you can make it whatever you want.The runes and designs glow, purple energy crackles through the room piercing everyone present, though it causes no pain. Time seems to slow down, no one can move and suddenly they are looking at themselves from outside their bodies. Everything goes blurry and when it comes back into focus they are in a different place (or not), a different time and in different bodies.And if the vision is cool enough, they may not even be irked to discover that the "treasure" was actually knowledge. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Something similar happened In the episode, Masks (season 7, episode 17). The transcript can be found at <a href="http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/nextgeneration/" target="_blank">http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/nextgeneration/</a>In a nutshell, an alien informational archive contained within a comet starts transforming the Enterprise and everything in it into items from its own culture. It also makes Data act out parts from that culture's mythology. [sblock]In the end, Picard returns everything to normal by taking the part of one of their mythological figures.[/sblock]It's a pretty cool episode and, though the idea strays slightly from what you're looking for, reading the transcript and/or watching the episode may give you some ideas.</blockquote>
