OK, the trick here is that the plate can only be activated by the
presence of an object of significant weight, such as YOU, or a band
of skeletons.  To gain entrance, you must lure a band of skeletons
(beholders won't work, since they don't touch the floor) onto the
plate, then activate a 'freeze life' spell (found in the green and
blue magic boxes).  You can then enter the chamber, and collect the
paltry items it contains (I think there was a drumstick, an apple,
and a potion).  All in all, this puzzle is just a red herring.
