LE A matter of logic

[Exibitions]

When you hit something in game like stone or metal with an arrow/ weapon, you have little sparks fly off the object. This makes sense.

 

However, with fire traps, the oil, and the gas versions, these sparks don't actually trigger the traps. This doesn't make sense.

 

In fact, it goes a step further, you can actually drop a lit torch into these traps, and nothing happens. You can hit the oil trail with a torch, and nothing happens.

 

 

Why is this not a thing already?

[DrNewcenstein]

I've actually run into a gas trap like a torch-bearer at the Special Olympics and experienced a flaming death.

 

But as for the sparks, I suspect it's the same reason you can't tear down a spiderweb door with Fire Breath.

Probably because fire traps aren't a big part of the mechanics of the game.
