In addition to pinpointing the presence of a trap, the spell also provides insight into the nature of the danger. This includes an assessment of the threat level and the type of harm it presents, whether it be falling damage, immobilization, entrapment, or another form of hazard. For the player's benefit, the spell also conveys the potential amount of damage the trap would cause, allowing for an informed decision on whether to attempt avoidance, disarmament, or another course of action.
The snare or pit must be within the caster's line of sight; thus it would not reveal a pit located behind a closed door. The area to be examined must be visible for the spell to work. Once the spell is discharged, the caster may expend 1 action point in walking slowly, at a stride of 1 — no other action is permitted. Thus there's a potential to see around trees and bushes. The caster is free to "sweep the area" while moving forward or turning in a circle, to see if magic is emanating from any direction; but only one direction can be known for certain per round.
The area of effect is not limited to the caster’s line of sight. Thus, a hidden trap that is physically behind a wall or door will be revealed, along with its general design and purpose.
