-These traps are usually harmless. In theory anti-magic fields could be harmful to some early-game [[spellcaster]]s, especially [[pacifist]]s who must cast [[spellbook of healing|healing]] often and cannot gain [[experience]] easily. Players who spend an early [[wish]] on a source of magic resistance may also be vulnerable.

In practice, however, the trap tends to be a nuisance at worst.
 Intentionally stepping on an anti-magic field is a somewhat risky way of identifying the [[cloak of magic resistance]].
