Effect

This spell allows the caster to inscribe a symbol that holds a spell in a fashion similar to a scroll. Once the sigil is created, the caster must then successfully cast the spell which she wishes the sigil to contain and choose a trigger (generally when the sigil is read, touched or destroyed/disfigured). The character that activates the sigil need not be a magician or elf, nor does the character need to voluntarily activate the sigil. Magicians commonly use this spell to trap a grimoire or door with Balefire so that the spell erupts when the inscription is read or the target opened, but it has many other uses.
