How it plays
Thief raises the traps ability by 3 for one disarm attempt: a character with traps 1 goes from one chance in six to four in six. It is useless for a character with no traps ability at all. Cast it just before opening a trapped door or chest, especially the chests that hold J, K and L treasure.
- Costs 1 wound of the caster's own strength, and the spell can't be cast if that would kill the caster.
- Can be cast at any point in play, though a few spells only help in one situation (rule 10.6).
| Traps ability | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without the spell | 17% | 33% | 50% |
| With the spell | 67% | 83% | 100% |
