Damage/Effect

The caster holds out a handful of steel and summons the respective trap in a 50-foot large area within 100 feet of them. The following collections of traps can be summoned:

Bear Traps: The spell’s effective area becomes covered in leaves and filled with bear traps. A casting of dispel magic or antimagic field, cast at an higher level than Thiriax’s Trapped Territory, destroys the magical leaves and reveals the bear traps, which no longer do magical piercing damage, just piercing. Any hostile creature to the caster must roll a d6 upon entering the area. On a 2-6, nothing happens to the creature, and they can safely progress 15 feet into the area. On a 1, they step on a bear trap, which closes on their leg, dealing 4d8 magical piercing damage. The affected enemy has their speed reduced by ten feet for every bear trap attached to them, until they take an action to make a Strength check against the caster’s spell save DC, freeing the trap from their leg on a success.

Pitfalls: The effective area of the spell is filled with four, 10-foot wide, 10-foot long pit traps. The pit traps are 20 feet deep, and deal 4d6 piercing damage + fall damage, from a row of jagged spikes at the bottom. A trapped target can make a Strength (Athletics) check against the caster’s spell save DC to climb out of the pit, freeing themselves. Once a pit is stepped on, entered, and escaped from, it fades away, leaving only the original ground. The pitfalls can only be removed by dispel magic or antimagic field, cast at a higher level than Thiriax’s Trapped Territory.

Barbed Wire: Three circular rows of barbed wire encircle the spell’s area, one on the outside of the 50-foot zone, a much shorter circle right in the middle, and one circle of wire in perfectly in between the other two. The circles of barbed wire are 5 feet thick, and cannot be destroyed by any nonmagical means. The barbed wire counts as difficult terrain, which deals 1d6 magical slashing damage for every foot travelled through it. If the barbed wire is teleported through by any hostile creature to the caster, the teleportation ends at the first row of barbed wire that they pass. If a dispel magic or antimagic field is cast at a higher level than Thiriax’s Trapped Territory is being cast at, any affected rows of barbed wire disappear.

Hypergravity: Five magical, nearly invisible columns of gravitational magic appear where the caster chooses in the 50-foot effective area of the spell. The columns are 5 feet wide, 5 feet long, 20 feet tall, and cause one of two effects. Whenever a hostile creature enters one of the columns, roll a d4. On a 1-2, the column attempts to crush them with extreme gravitational force.This deals 4d6 force damage for every turn a creature stays within the field, and can only use their action to fire a spell they’ve already prepared or move 5 feet and out of the zone. The target can only use their action for one of those two options, and cannot use their movement. Flying creatures that enter the column are immediately pulled from whatever height they were flying at to the ground. The flying creature takes an additional d6 of force damage for every five feet in the air they were before entering the column, for a max of 8d6. On a 3-4, the column fires any creature inside up into the air. They are sent a total of 40 feet up, and the column doesn’t trigger again until they hit the ground in the area. They can use their movement while being flung by the column to move up to 5 feet in any direction, effectively freeing themselves from the column. A casting of dispel magic or antimagic field instantly cancels any columns hit by it, if it's cast at a higher level than the spell.
