How hard would it be to give a connect vaule to a trap so that you
can trigger all sort of things with it and or trigger traps by pulling
levers and stuff. This is really evil with area affect traps. Or would
you do it like destruction where all traps within range are triggered.
This would mean that two spikes or blade traps right next to each 
other would be pretty nasty though.

Speaking of traps has anyone thought of a way to recentre traps like
burning hands, it is just too easy to stand still and have them go all
around you. At moment I think runes in doors work by creating another
rune right under the player that detonated it and setting it off, rather
than with cone spells just setting it off where it is so that the player
catches it full in the face so to speak.

If this is wrong please correct me. Perhaps also more traps should work
like some paralysis traps which get duplicated after they are set off.


Just some hopefully polite thoughts to enliven your days
