Routine
(2 actions) On its initiative, the trap uses its first action to spin, then stops. Roll 1d6 to determine which segment is topmost when the wheel stops spinning. The wheel uses its second action to replicate the spell listed for that segment (3rd rank, DC 24, spell attack modifier +14). This spell's target is centered on or otherwise includes the nearest creature in the area. This increases the spell's range to 100 feet if necessary. Any spell cast by this trap is arcane. 1 sleep 2 paralyze 3 lightning bolt (100-foot line) 4 blindness 5 caustic blast 6 enfeeble Reset The trap deactivates and resets if 1 minute passes without any creature moving within range of its sensor.
