When you cast this spell, you mark a fixed surface with an arcane inscription, occupying a 5-foot diameter circle. When a creature enters the glyph’s space or otherwise disturbs it, the glyph triggers.

You can refine the trigger by specifying or exempting creatures or creature types, or by specifying a password a creature can speak as a reaction to prevent the glyph from triggering.

The glyph is nearly invisible and requires a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to be found. A creature has advantage on this check if it is able to perceive magical effects, such as by casting detect magic. If a creature uses its action to destroy the glyph, or the surface is destroyed, the spell ends without triggering.

When you create the glyph, choose one of the options below, expending its material component. When the glyph triggers, it flares with colored light until destroyed. The effect immediately occurs, targeting every non-exempt creature within 60 feet.
