One-way barrier (4e Trap)

This barrier consists of a thick shield of arcane energy, with a strange feature, you can only walk through it at one side! This can be used with, for example, a dead end, a prison, or a barrier above a pit. (creatures will still fall in, but can't get out) This trap can also be very annoying when used with artillery monsters, who shoot through the barrier, while the heroes can't even throw the projectiles back!
