Leomund's Trap (spell)
.jpg)
Leomund's trap is a spell designed to confound thieves and burglars, causing them to believe an object or an room is clearly trapped. The exact danger won't be evident, but those investigating an area will become absolutely certain that there are strands, tiny needles or hooks attached to purse strings, locks, hinges, handles or holes — though all of this is mere illusion.

To most observers, it will also be plainly evident that these traps are highly sophisticated and cannot be safely removed. Only those able to recognise the dweomer will know the trap for what it is.
Origin
Leomund Vetofka was born a Khazarian Jew in the early 10th century, trained in distant Khorezm and becoming the leading member of the Kiyevan Court; he is credited with the city withstanding the Pecheneg siege in 968 and with the coronation of Grand Prince Vladimir the Great in 975. He returned to Khorezm in the 990s and is said to have lived another 50 years.
