Self Aware Dungeon Generation

I've spoken of sentient self aware dungeons before. Some are pocket universes and connect many dungeons on different planes. Many dungeon intelligence might partake of a greater force or a collective presence. Some dungeons will have smaller more local spirits. Even levels as spirits acting as factions.

These geniuses can be worshiped and can provide priests and shaman and sorcerers with power. Some dungeons might have enemy spirits from former occupants controlling a few rooms. This means you can inject a dungeon with strange powers, intelligent traps, local cults, shrines dedicated to the dungeon and many more things.

You could be a jerk and give items that only worked in that dungeon that are products of the spirit to attract adventurers. You can make dungeon seem haunted by many entities but really it is far worse. It could develop a avatar. Possibly a ghost or a spirit of a holy person or wizard could be come one.
