| - | + | A ward remains for 1 hour or until it is triggered. A Search check (against the spell's normal DC) reveals its presence, as do ''detect magic'' and similar abilities. A character who has located the ward can make a Disable Device check (against the spell's normal DC) to remove it: success indicates that the spell has been disarmed; failure indicates that the person attempting to remove the ward has triggered it and suffers full effects of the spell. ''Dispel magic'' or similar effects can remove a ward: they do not trigger it even on a failed check. | |
