The Detect Trap spell reveals booby traps.

Description

The dungeons of Britannia are often littered with traps, especially on tempting chests that promise a rich reward. However, these traps are invisible until the unwary adventurer is close enough that they can snap shut. Corridors littered with human remains are suspicious, and chests can contain acid, poison, or bomb traps. However, defense against these traps is possible. Detect Trap allows the caster to see all the traps in the surroundings, be they traps in the corridor itself or in chests. However, it only detects them; to get rid of a trap, the Destroy Trap spell must be used.

The Ultima VI spell Trap can create a new trap.
