[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6498496, member: 2093"] Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. So they can pull the lever without ever having to worry. And the wizard who supposedly trapped himself on the far side due to carelessness would have simply used the spell to set himself free. Not to mention that he could easily have asked anyone he knew to show up and set him free if he'd wanted to... the whole trap/concept is deeply flawed, if anyone bothers to question it even a tiny bit... So if you wanted to design a trap that a wizard would cast thinking it was a legitimate spell that would simply create a protective barrier, and which would then trap him inside it, what would it need to entail? I can see it needing the following 1) no communication through said barrier. No scrying, no telepathy, etc... 2) since the wizard has an other planar servant living with him, it must also cut off all other planar travel/communication. 3) proof against mage hand, because the release for the spell is a simple lever (supposed to have been "inside" the barrier, but due to the machinations of his vengeful apprentice, "accidentally" outside the barrier). Anything else that it would need to resist? [/QUOTE]
