+ | Mechanism [[quality]] determines the skill with which the weapon is "swung" or "fired" by the weapon trap, and affects all the rolls. [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=14461.msg131214#msg131214] It does not affect how quickly a trap refires. | ||
Mechanisms for use in magma '''must be''' [[magma safe]], otherwise they will be destroyed (whether by melting or by burning) and the object to which they are linked will deconstruct. | Mechanisms for use in magma '''must be''' [[magma safe]], otherwise they will be destroyed (whether by melting or by burning) and the object to which they are linked will deconstruct. | ||

It is unclear exactly how two (or more) mechanisms talk to each other at a distance without building direct mechanical or electronic channels between them (such as a wire), and given that the Dwarves have not discovered radio technology, it is believed by some that the Dwarves have actually discovered how to implement and control [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement quantum entanglement] on a non-quantum scale. | It is unclear exactly how two (or more) mechanisms talk to each other at a distance without building direct mechanical or electronic channels between them (such as a wire), and given that the Dwarves have not discovered radio technology, it is believed by some that the Dwarves have actually discovered how to implement and control [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement quantum entanglement] on a non-quantum scale. | ||
