This spell is titled Skull Trap but actually explodes in a "White Fireball" in an area of effect.
The Flaming Skull creature is the user of this spell - it is some kind of death throe phenomena.
Internal AI scripting text labelling identifies this spell as "Skull Explode".
Gameplay[]
When a Flaming Skull creature is killed, this spell triggers and explodes in an Area of Effect centered on the destroyed creature.
The innate spell effect is an instantly cast offensive damage spell.
All creatures in the area of effect are exposed to the effects.
The explosion inflicts 20d6 Magical damage, however if the victim makes a Saving throw vs. Spell, then the damage is halved.
The Explosion can be blocked by Magic resistance and has 3 Power level, and thus can be blocked by a Minor Globe of Invulnerability as well.
