Mirror Trap
A mirror hangs on the wall, its silver frame etched with strange sigils.
The mirror reflects light normally. A living creature that touches the mirror or its frame seems to disappear as it is teleported to an extradimensional space “inside” the mirror. Creatures outside the mirror can’t see creatures trapped inside. Creatures inside the mirror can interact with each other and can observe the area outside the mirror as if looking through a window, but they otherwise do not have line of effect to the area outside the mirror.
Magical Effect. This is a magical effect created by conjuration magic. Casting dispel magic on the mirror requires a spellcasting ability check and disables the trap. Creatures trapped inside the mirror appear in unoccupied spaces outside the mirror, and the mirror becomes a nonmagical item worth 500 gp.
Mirror. A creature that makes an Arcana check knows that the sigils on the mirror’s frame produce some sort of teleportation magic when activated. A creature that investigates the mirror (without touching it) can make a Perception or Investigation check. On a success, they hear shouting or other loud sounds created by creatures trapped inside the mirror.
Spell Solve. A creature trapped inside the mirror can escape using magic that allows extradimensional travel (such as dimension door ).
- A creature outside the mirror can counteract the magic sigils with an Arcana check.
- A creature on either side of the mirror can shatter the mirror by making an attack roll (AC 14).
Potential Outcomes
Critical Failure or Failure. If the triggering creature is outside the mirror and within 5 feet of it, it teleports inside the mirror. An aleas in the form of the triggering creature appears in the creature’s space. Disabling the trap does not destroy the aleas.
Success. The mirror cracks. A second Success triggers a Critical Success instead.
Critical Success. The mirror shatters, and the trap is disabled. Creatures inside the mirror when it shatters appear in unoccupied spaces outside the mirror. The mirror’s frame becomes a nonmagical item worth 50 gp.
