In the description of this item it says it detects, amongst other things, traps. When I map the whole level using it, I certainly can't see any traps and I can find traps later using standard mage detection. Wrong description / bug / me doing something wrong?
Done some more experimenting. When I activate it, it definitely says that its looking for traps. I wonder if its using the code for potions of enlightenment to map the level, then doing a small range detect traps. If so, then maybe its only the description that needs to be tweaked a little as it has something like detects objects, traps, door, stairs - suggesting that the functionality for all of them are the same.

That's exactly what it does. Same for doors and monsters.

Stairs and items are detected everywhere by wizard light.
