It just tells you there's a trap, and danger of falling or poison. Almost nobody is going to use this spell unless they already suspect a trap. If they suspect a trap, then almost everybody is going to make Perception / Investigation rolls to find the trap. Then they cast this spell and... they still cannot find the trap!The danger is falling? Okay. Where? Which tile? Is it close? Further down the tunnel? The whole tunnel? Or maybe falling meant something falling from above? The danger is poison? Okay. Where? Gas? Monsters? Darts? Does it come from the walls? From the ceiling? From the end of the hallway? You don't know. If you could have found the trap in the first place, you probably wouldn't need to cast this spell!And the classes capable of casting this spell are generally the classes who need it the least.It literally doesn't do the one thing it advertises. It's called Find Traps. It doesn't actually FIND any traps. =P</blockquote>
