- See also Protection Spells.
The spell prevents mechanical traps (and alarms) from being triggered by the protected creature. The traps do not function, but neither are they revealed. The spell only prevents activation of the trap's trigger. It provides no protection against traps triggered by an unprotected creature, nor does it provide protection against a trap without a trigger, such as an open pit.
The material component is a bit of axle grease.
Notes: Uncommon for abjurers; otherwise, rare.
