Trigger A creature touches the trap door without first placing the three enchanted gumdrop keys in their proper arrangement
Effect The magic circles prevent the trap door from opening and maliciously transform a portion of the triggering creature's body, with effects based on the result of the triggering creature's DC 18 fortitude save.
