Spark Trap (2)

Damage:	1 (Electricity Ball)
Notes:	Produces light in dark levels. Will light explosive objects on fire.

Spark Traps are wall-mounted Traps that will generate a dangerous electricity ball when the player comes too close, flying around the trap in a circular fashion. They are found exclusively in Neo Babylon.

Mechanics

Spark traps sense anything moving within ~6 tiles around them, and will then generate an electricity ball that will fly around it about 3 tiles away in a circle, damaging anything it comes in contact with. It will not activate in the presence of monsters or other people.

Spark traps are arguably the most dangerous things in Neo Babylon, as they are deceptively difficult to avoid in the small corridors, as well as potentially damaging things the player does not want them to, like Shopkeepers and Madame Tusk's Guards. Furthermore, if the electricity ball touches an explosive object like, say, a Pack the player is wearing, it will cause it to detonate. Due to this, bringing an explosive pack to Neo Babylon is generally not recommended.

Disarming

Spark traps are not able to be deactivated, except by destroying them, or simply keeping out of their range.

Spark traps can be destroyed with a mattock or a bomb. Beware that a bomb explosion may cause a pool of lava to spill from its container, massively increasing the danger of an already extremely dangerous area.

Avoiding the electricity ball is difficult, but possible if the player is fast and precise enough. Patience is the key to making a plan to avoid spark traps, as well as the crush-happy elevators they exist alongside of.
