All of these magic Items are really great.  The logical
next step, is for people to post some of their other favorite
tricks of the trade.  For example, there must be a wagon load
of imaginative traps, lurking in the darkness, waiting.....
 
  Here are some of my favorite traps:
 
 Water trap: This is just great for people in lots of armour, 
  swimming is so much fun, in the bowels of a dungeon.  
  Some variations:
   Low ceiling (ie no flying over)
   Black water (can't say just how deep it is, or where. 
    Great for water walking tricks.
   Acid water - acts like a slow poison, or perhaps
    it will rust up armour (including magical) unless preventive
    maintenance is performed.
 
 Low, and or narrow twisty passages.  Just great for those Conan
types.  (in a 3' high 18" wide passage a kobold is a formidable
 foe).   Have you ever tried to Unstick plate armour when wedged
between solid rock and solid hero.
 
 Magnetic trap.  Again most Iron weapons are usually pretty
useless when stuck to the floor.  also try getting out of a mail
shirt, when it is atracted to the floor.   
  Use this in conjection with a water trap, and just watch the fun.
 
 False Corner.  An Illusion of a turn in the passage.  Simple spell,
 but it wrecks the hell out of a lot of maps. 
 
 Anti-gravity room.  Lots of laughs,  try taking a swipe at somebody
 and tumble with mirth.
 
 One way teleport doors to various parts of the dungeon.  Make them
 a little fancier by teleporting only certain species, etc...
 
  
  Enjoy.....
