 Detect Magic will work automatically with a placed spell trap or a spell trap spawnpoint with a variable added to it called ACR_TRAP_SPELL_ID which contains the integer of the spell ID.* As with any ACR_Trap, either option requires a placeable tagged as TRAP_ORIGIN nearby, also.
 Detect Magic uses ACR_TRAP_SPELL_ID (already on a placed trap or added to the spawnpoint) to cross-reference spell effects against 2DA information. From the 2DA it pulls the proper school and spell power to put into the report to the Caster. For instance, for a Web Trap: "Spider Web and a circle centered on a spot 1m southwest of Spider Web gives off a Moderate aura of Conjuration." Spider Web is the placeable tagged as TRAP_ORIGIN. The spot at which the circle is reported is the either the placed trap or the spawnpoint.
-: *Weirdly, although a placed trap already has the ACR_TRAP_SPELL_ID on it, that same trap spawned by a spawnpoint does not, so it has to be added to the spawnpoint itself for the Detect Magic to find it.

 ACR Traps are currently able to be spawned through the [[ACR Creator]], and may also be placed using the ACR Spawn System, with object type 8.
-In order to spawn a trap, you must first tool the trap, according to the instructions above, and then use the resource name of the waypoint used to tool the trap as the resource name of the trap on the spawn point. In all other respects, these spawn points work as any other spawn point.
+In order to spawn a trap, you must first tool the trap, according to the instructions above, and then use the resource name of the waypoint used to tool the trap as the resource name of the trap on the spawn point. In addition, for the trap to register to Detect Magic, to this spawnpoint add the variable: ACR_TRAP_SPELL_ID. Enter the spell integer into the integer slot.
 In addition, you may place a placeable with the tag "TRAP_ORIGIN" near any trap trigger and it will be regarded as the source for all effects which are created by the trap. This has two uses:
 * Animations that involve projectiles will show the trap's effect being shot from the trap origin
 * The trap may be used in the spell trap mode (as placeables are allowed to cast spells in the NWN2 engine, but triggers are not).
