This spell creates a deadfall trap in a forest province. The trap will remain in the province for up to one year. If a stack enters the province during that time, the trap will collapse and kill as many as 10 men (or beasts). Each man (or beast) hit by a deadfall has a 50% chance of being crushed.

The trap's targets are selected exactly as in combat. Due to their superior footspeed, nobles will not be automatically killed by the trap. If hit, they will instead suffer a 1-100 point wound.

After attacking one stack, the trap will be dispersed.

Priest of Timeid easily spot and avoid deadfall traps.
