• Thievery DC 42 (master) — to decouple faint strands of shadow essence from the magical matrix that holds the maze together
• Arcana DC 45 — or Occultism to shunt the shadowy energy back into the Shadow Plane and render the maze inert, or dispel magic (8th level; counteract
• DC 35

Trigger A creature enters the 20-foot-wide interior of the shadow maze, either from area **C2** or **C4**, or through a hole smashed in the dome

Effect Reality appears to shift around the creature, who perceives a sudden transformation in the surrounding terrain into a vast maze of underwater alleys and crumbling ruins. The creature must attempt a DC 37 Will save, and the shadow maze then rolls initiative.

Reset If disarmed, the trap resets in 1 hour as long as the two crystals in area C5 still function.
