Alright, here we go. magic trap, alarm spell, uses summon monster six. now, can a non-rogue find it with detect magic? could they identify it? I'd like to know, how exactly to handle magic traps in general, they're kinda confusing. who can detect them, who can get rid of them? trapfinding and dispel magic i can imagine.


They can detect the aura of the magic, but that does not mean they will know it is a trap.

Anyone can find them with a perception check. Only someone with the trapfinding class feature can disable them though.

They can be dispelled however with dispel magic.
