Magic trap messages:


1/30 chance: "You are caught in a magical explosion!". Lose d10 HP; 
             if you survive, "Your body absorbs some of the magical
             energy!". Power points increased to max+2, and the trap 
             vanishes.

Otherwise:

9/20 chance: "You are momentarily blinded by a flash of light!" (If
             already blind, "You hear a deafening roar!"; if blinding
             resistant (Sunsword, poly), "You see a flash of light!".)
             Blinds for 9+d5 turns, creates d4 monsters around you.

1/20 chance: Same as fire trap ("A tower of flame erupts from the
             floor!". If not fire resistant, lose 2d4 HP, max HP is
             reduced by a number between 0 and the HP you lost.
             Chance of armour being damaged and flammables in
             inventory being burnt/boiled.)

1/20 chance: "You feel charismatic!" Gain 1 CHA, and tame the monsters
             immediately around you.

1/20 chance: "You feel like someone is helping you." (Hall., "You feel
             in touch with the Universal Oneness.") Acts as uncursed
             scroll of remove curse; uncurse loadstones, worn and
             wielded items. Remove ball and chain if being punished.

2/20 chance: Nothing happens, and does it quietly.

6/20 chance: Nothing happens. Equal chances of the following messages:
             "A shiver runs up and down your spine!", "You hear a 
             distant howling." (Hall., "You hear the moon howling at
             you."), "Your pack shakes violently!", "You smell charred
             flesh." (Hall., "You smell hamburgers."), "You feel
             tired.", or a reference to your homeland: usually "You
             suddenly yearn for your distant homeland." (Hall, "You
             suddenly yearn for Cleveland."); if on the Quest portal
             level or in the Quest below Home level, "You suddenly
             yearn for your nearby homeland.". If on the Quest Home
             level itself, "You feel like the prodigal son."; if
             not male, "You feel oddly like the prodigal son.")
