Remove Trap

Disarming Deadly Devices

Overview

Remove Trap is the specialized skill for safely disarming trapped containers and devices. Essential for treasure hunters and dungeon delvers, it allows you to neutralize deadly traps without triggering them.

Unlike using Telekinesis to trigger traps from a distance, Remove Trap completely disarms them, allowing safe access to container contents without damage or poison.
