Utility

• You inscribe a harmful glyph on a surface (up to 10 ft. in diameter) or inside an object that can be closed to conceal it. If the inscribed object is moved more than 10 ft. from where you cast the spell, the glyph breaks and the spell ends without triggering.

• The glyph is nearly invisible. A creature must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to notice it.

• You decide the trigger when casting the spell (touching, stepping on, opening, moving within range, seeing, reading, etc.). Triggers can be refined by physical traits (size, weight, type) or by conditions such as passwords. You may also exclude certain creatures from triggering it.

• Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a 60-ft. radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes. Each creature in the area when it activates, or that enters it for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there (but not both), is affected by the chosen effect.

• Choose one of the options below for its effect.
