Glyph of Warding
The caster creates a small, magical zone that can detect the passage of enemy creatures. When the field is activated, it explodes, doing 1d8 points of sonic damage per 2 caster levels (up to 5d8) + 1d8 per 3 caster levels after caster level 10 (maximum 15d8) to all creatures within the area of effect. After being triggered, the glyph dissipates.
