The line that's created can serve as a trigger for magical effects, including a glyph, rune, magic mouth and similar spells. The line functions even when not anchored to an object.
A creature must enter the affected combat hex occupied by the line to be affected. If moving warily or at a walking pace — stride-1 to 3 — the creature merely falls, suffering no damage and becoming stunned for one round.
If the affected creature is running, a save vs. magic has to be made; if this succeeds, they merely tumble and suffer 1 point of damage, in addition to being stunned for two rounds. On a failed save, however, the creature suffers 1-4 damage and are "dazed" and helpless for 3-9 rounds (2d4+1). If the creature is sprinting at stride-6 to 8, on a failed save 1-6 damage is suffered and the creature is dazed for 3-13 rounds (2d6+1).
Creatures exceeding 600 lbs. are unaffected by the spell. Those with six or more legs may be snagged for one round but won't be stunned or suffer any further impediment.
Detection
The snare's presence can be revealed through magical detection or by a character with the sniff trap ability. Any creature that perceives the trap is immune to its effects.
