You set a runic ward as a warning alarm against any unwanted intrusion. This runic ward appears as a softly glowing symbol which you designate, and a subtle silvery mist that fills the warded area of effect, but it is only visible to you. Choose the defined space of a specific door, a window, or any other general area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a Tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you may also designate creatures that won't set off the alarm. When you choose these creatures that do not set off the alarm, you may also designate the runic ward is visible to them. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible.
A mental warning alarm alerts you with a ping in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the warded area. This ping awakens you even if you are sleeping.
An audible warning alarm produces the sound of a silver hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet of the area of intrusion.
