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?

Phil.

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.
