    "When a creature moves onto this trap's pressure plate for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, a nearby statue exhales a 15-foot {@variantrule Cone [Area of Effect]|XPHB|Cone} of magical flame. The statue can look like anything, such as a dragon or a wizard. Each creature in the Cone must succeed on a {@dc 15} Dexterity saving throw, taking 11 ({@damage 2d10}) Fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.",

As a {@action Search|XPHB} action, a creature within 5 feet of the statue can examine it and make a {@dc 10} Wisdom ({@skill Perception|XPHB}) check, detecting a tiny glyph on the statue on a successful check. Once the glyph is found, a character can take a {@action Study|XPHB} action to examine it and make a {@dc 15} Intelligence ({@skill Arcana|XPHB}) check, ascertaining that the glyph means \"fire\" on a successful check. As an action, a character can use a sharp tool to deface the glyph, which disarms the trap.",

Wedging an {@item Iron Spikes|XPHB|Iron Spike} or similar object under the pressure plate prevents the trap from triggering."
