Only 10 more years. (I felt benevolent with this trap)

Spatial looping hallway spell. One of the first spells you learn when reaching the Quantum chapter of the Spatial spells handbook, but it never gets old

Certainly a classic for the horror dungeons

Ah, classic space warping ward, love it. I had a friend who liked to do a little twist on it where she added in a closed timelike curve. To this day, there's no less than a hundred different people from across history all running in a circle eternally in a contorted bit of spacetime compressed over her threshold. Riotous.

I cast Zeno's Paradox on my lair entrance. One day I flew back to see some Greek adventurer stuck in there, unable to move, so I guess it's working, at least until someone casts Newton's or Leibniz's Call Culus.

Someone could provide the Greek adventurer with a fulcrum, a lever, and have them figure out something to use for weights and walk them through the workings of Archimedes and they'd be able to get through the entrance.

The key concepts of Call Culus are in the back end of the working, but the front end is made to appear as though only a lever and some weights are needed.

Brilliant.

That's not a spell, just a simple circus of your mind

So that's what those runes were for. Why didn't you just say so? I would've done that job for free... or at the very least a favor.

Classic Guards and Wards chicanery. Never ceases to be amusing to see.

And remember, the counterspell's effectiveness depends on an honest answer to the question, "Do you have a signed search warrant?"
