RTC/Mechanisms

Mechanisms

These help add special effect to the dungeon, such as having doors or pits opening and closing by themselves; or even a shop where you can spend your hard earned money; and much much more.

Mechanisms may be placed anywhere in the dungeon and they come in a range of abilities.
