* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', this is [[Final Fantasy II|The Emperor's]]' modus operandi. It's even [[Trope Namer|the title of his fighting style]]. He conjures [[Instant Runes|energy crests]] that can paralyze opponents or shoot projectiles at them, or releases magical mines from his [[Magic Wand|staff]] that draw the opponent in and explode.

* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' features "trap making" as a skill and an engine that doesn't transition between screens when a battle begins, allowing players to use doorways, blind corners, stairways, and the like on the map as choke points, making it very possible to play as this kind of character if you know when fights are coming.
