When a magic trap is placed into the portal device, a magical vortex appears in the game, and the player can then defeat magic enemies and capture them in the trap. Once captured, the magic villain is stored inside the trap and can be summoned by the player to fight alongside their chosen Skylander character. Magic traps have their own unique abilities and attacks, which can be upgraded as the player levels up the trapped villain.
