-This spell allows you to scribe a potent rune of power upon a surface. When triggered, a Symbol of Fear causes all creatures of within a 60 ft. radius burst to be panicked as long as they remain in range of the symbol, and for 1 round per Caster Level after the creature moves farther than 60 feet from the symbol. Once triggered, the symbol becomes active and glows, lasting for 10 minutes per caster level. A creature that enters the area while the symbol of fear is active is subject to its effect, whether or not that creature was in the area when it was triggered. If a creature leaves the area and returns while the symbol is still active, the effect is refreshed.+This spell allows you to scribe a potent rune of power upon a surface. When triggered, a Symbol of Fear causes all creatures of within a 60 ft. radius burst to be panicked as long as they remain in range of the symbol, and for 1 round per [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]] after the creature moves farther than 60 feet from the symbol. Once triggered, the symbol becomes active and glows, lasting for 10 minutes per caster level. A creature that enters the area while the symbol of fear is active is subject to its effect, whether or not that creature was in the area when it was triggered. If a creature leaves the area and returns while the symbol is still active, the effect is refreshed.
  
 Until it is triggered, the symbol of fear is inactive (though visible and legible at a distance of 60 feet). To be effective, a symbol of fear must always be placed in plain sight and in a prominent location. Covering or hiding the rune renders the symbol of fear ineffective, unless a creature removes the covering, in which case the symbol of fear works normally. Until it is triggered, the symbol of fear is inactive (though visible and legible at a distance of 60 feet).

 You also can attune any number of creatures to the symbol of fear, but doing this can extend the casting time. Attuning one or two creatures takes negligible time, and attuning a small group (as many as 10 creatures) extends the casting time to 1 hour. Attuning a large group (as many as 25 creatures) takes 24 hours. Attuning larger groups takes an additional 24 hours per 25 creatures. Any creature attuned to a symbol of fear cannot trigger it, and is immune to its effects, even if within its radius when it is triggered. You are automatically considered attuned to your own symbols of fear, and thus always ignore the effects and cannot inadvertently trigger them. You also can attune any number of creatures to the symbol of fear, but doing this can extend the casting time.

 A symbol of fear can be removed by a successful [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:dispel_magic|Dispel Magic]] targeted solely on the rune. An [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:erase|Erase]] spell has no effect on a symbol of fear. Destruction of the surface where a symbol of fear is inscribed destroys the symbol, but also triggers it. A symbol of fear can be removed by a successful [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:dispel_magic|Dispel Magic]] targeted solely on the rune.
