Wheel Spin [reaction] Trigger A creature pulls the lever or enters the sensor's detection area; Effect The wheel begins to spin and rolls initiative.
Routine (2 actions) On its initiative, the trap uses its first action to spin, then stops. Roll 1d8 to determine which segment is topmost when the wheel stops spinning. The wheel uses its second action to replicate the spell listed for that segment (5th level, DC 27, spell attack roll +17). This spell's target is centered on or otherwise includes the nearest creature in the spell's area. This increases the spell's range to 30 feet if necessary. Any spell cast by this trap is occult.
