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.
