Web Trap Tiles:

Fantastic group of spells there.

I like what you've done with the Chaac spell, where characters wearing armour are actuallly punished in their defense roll. Nice use of the name for the Mayan rain god too.
I think the name of the Music spell could be better. Not the spell itself, just the name. Maybe find the Mayan name for music? I can't help here as my ancient Mayan is a bit rusty these days!!!

How does the spell with the luring a Hero to the XX work? Is it basically just a teleport spell masquerading as actually wandering off in a daze? I'd prefer it if the Hero actually wandered off and had to pass a mind test to regain control and walk back. Also, by stipulating the XX thingy, you've potentially handicapped the use of this spell for wider use in HQ.

Aside from those quibbles though, a really cool set of spells!

Thanks for feedback.

I kept trying to come up with a different name for the Music Spell but kept being drawn back to it's simplicity. I still may change it.

The second half of spells, that I haven't finished yet, have a luring spell very much like what you described. As far as the XX it is basically a teleport and works similar to the NA Escape Spell except on the Hero instead of the spellcaster. The NA Escape Spell shows an X on the map, if a Quest doesn't have a pre-drawn X then Zargon writes one in. That makes the spell always useful. If you read the lore of El Chullachaqui you see everyone ends up lost. There is no "waking" before so.
