Pen n/a, 24x/day

Any restrictions on use, limits on time, and so on.
A large area of thick flagstone located in the center of the entryway, this trap is simple and effective. If anyone steps near the center of the large stone slab, it turns momentarily to mud, then re-solidifies, allowing the trespassers to sink and then trapping the feet of the central intruder and any near them for a full day until it can be activated again (and then they better be fast!) Any competent mage forgetful enough to step into this should be able to free themselves easily enough.
A large section of hard stone, about 3 paces square and as much deep. Activated if anything near the center is stepped upon.
(Base 3 (slightly unnatural- thin mud), +1 Stone, +1 Touch, +0 Momentary; +0 1x/day, +1 (x10 mass) )
