Pulse [reaction] (divine) Trigger A soul or creature with a soul enters the area; Effect The steel pillars activate with an audible hum that resonates with spirits. Each non-psychopomp creature with a soul is stunned 3 unless they succeed at a DC 43 Will save. The trap then rolls initiative.
Routine (4 actions) This trap loses 1 action each turn for each disabled pillar. Each pillar uses 1 action to emit a 30-foot-radius burst of inhibiting energy that slows souls. Each non-psychopomp creature with a soul in the area is slowed 1 unless they succeed at a DC 43 Fortitude save.
Reset The trap deactivates and resets if 1 minute passes without any souls in the area.
