Notes

• Only those considered an enemy can trigger the glyph. When the glyph is triggered everyone within the area is affected, regardless of allegiance.
  • Enemies are indicated via a red circle beneath the creature, red outlines when highlighted, and denoted by a red dot in the minimap. Neutral, friendly, and allied creatures (highlighted yellow, green, or blue respectively) can safely traverse the glyph.
  • If the glyph is cast in an area where hostile creatures are already present, it triggers immediately.
• Only one glyph per caster can be active at a time. If a creature with an active glyph casts the spell again, the previous one vanishes with no effect.
  • Active glyphs also vanish harmlessly if the caster is dismissed from the party.
