[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7298144, member: 6803337"] This item is the bait for a trap. It is cursed. Usually it is placed on a table within a room. If somebody casts [I]Detect Magic[/I] to scan the room, this item will light up (visual effects similar to [I]Faerie Fire[/I]) as magical. The individual who searches it out will become completely absorbed in trying to figure out what it is. [I]Remove Curse[/I] or similar magic will allow the individual to stop trying to figure out what this object is, put it back on the table, and leave the room. This object does not have a distinct shape, somewhat like a blob of wax. But it does have hard edges and sides. (Kind of like an empty box with slide-able corners.) The object's normal use is as bait in a trap. The room has some method to detect that adventurers are in it, and the owner will then deal with the intruders. This could be a peephole in one wall or corner, an [I]Alarm[/I] spell on a doorway, a mundane chime / bell that is rung by opening the door, a (hungry?) creature with the Scent ability beyond another door, or anything else appropriate to the villain in question. P.S. If the previous item had been a bar of AXE-brand soap, the goblin would have liked it ... based on what my nose detects around Axe products. Next item: [B]A graduation-type tassel[/B] [/QUOTE]
