What it looks like...
|
|
|
|
Armed:
|
|
The hinges of the <type> <box> are covered with a thin metal circle that has been lacquered with a shade of <deep ebony / bluish azure / bright crimson>.
|
|
Set off!
|
<This happens if the right moon is up.>
Slowly, so as not to accidentally jostle the <type> <box> during the attempt, you carefully tug at the <deep ebony / bluish azure / bright crimson> circle and try to bend it. Unfortunately, your fingers slip at a bad moment, and you end up giving the hinges a sudden tap with it that sends a small spark into the air.
You experience a great wrenching in your gut and everything goes utterly black, but the sensation is brief. You find yourself curled up on the ground at...
<new room>

<This happens if the right moon is down.>
Slowly, so as not to accidentally jostle the <type> <box> during the attempt, you carefully tug at the <deep ebony / bluish azure / bright crimson> circle and try to bend it. Unfortunately, your fingers slip at a bad moment, and you end up giving the hinges a sudden tap with it that sends a small spark into the air.
Your last painful thought before you die is the horrified realization that the trap is attempting to teleport you without <Katamba / Xibar / Yavash> visible!

Notes:
|
This trap basically casts the Teleport spell upon you. If you see this trap, the first thing you chould do is check the skies. Observe the moon of the same color as the metal disk. If the moon is up (it can be behind clouds), setting off the trap will move you, leaving you stunned in a different place, as per the spell. If the moon is NOT up, it will disintegrate you, also as per the spell, shredding every body part and killing you instantly.

Glance:

A <deep ebony / bluish azure / bright crimson> metal circle on the hinges makes you feel like looking up.
