VI. Credits:
Thanks to NullCascade for his Visually Filled Soul Gems, which both inspired this mod and provided much of its code, as well as VitruvianGuar for his assistance in making this mod compatible with his Locks and Traps Detection and C3pa for his edits allowing the effect to be removed when traps are disarmed.
