[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 4040834, member: 16285"] But they radiate magic according to the spells/properties used to create them. Not something else. Saying the effect is like some thing else has no real bearing on the use of Detect Magic in this case. And Detect Magic spell is listed a means for determing a trap is present, just not exactly what the trap is. That was all I was getting at. Telling me that my methodolgy is wrong and can be bypassed has nothing whatsoever to do with the feasability of such a system, special precasutions (and spells) not withstanding. I have not stated that using Identify is the proper "tool" to use here, I only listed a relatively common tool available that could be used effectively at least most of the time. Somehow I think that the spells involved in creating this "trap" were of substantial level - most likely above those of the characters they are being used against. Otherwise why not use the spell Analyze Dweomer which is far superior to Identify (also it does not require "touching" only "sight". [/QUOTE]
