Symbol {Wizard}

A symbol spell creates magical runes affecting creatures that pass over, touch, or read the rune, or pass through a portal upon which the symbol is inscribed. Upon casting the spell, the wizard inscribes the symbol upon whatever surface he desires. Likewise, the spellcaster is able to place the symbol of his choice, using any one of the following:
Death One or more creatures, whose total hit points do not exceed 80. are slain.
Discord All creatures are affected and immediately fall to loud bickering and arguing; there is a 50% probability that creatures of different alignments attack each other. The bickering lasts for 5d4 rounds, the fighting for 2d4 rounds.
Fear This symbol creates an extra-strong fear spell, causing all creatures to save vs. spell with -4 penalties to the die roll, or panic and as if attacked by a fear spell.
Hopelessness All creatures are affected and must turn back in dejection unless they save vs. spell. Affected creatures submit to the demands of any opponent—e.g., surrender, get out, etc.; the hopelessness lasts for 3d4 turns. During this period it is probable that affected creatures take no action during any round, and 25 % likely that those taking action turn back or retire from battle, as applicable.
Insanity One or more creatures whose total hit points do not exceed 120 become insane and remain so, acting as if a confusion spell had been placed upon them, until a heal, restoration, or wish spell is used to remove the madness.
Pain All creature are afflicted with wracking pains shooting through their bodies. Causing a -2 penalty to Dexterity and a -4 penalty to attack dice for 2d10 turns.
Sleep All creatures under 8 + 1 Hit Dice immediately fall into a catatonic slumber and cannot be awakened for 1d12 +4 turns.
Stunning One or more creatures total hit points do not exceed are stunned and reeling for 3d4 rounds, dropping anything they are holding.
The type of symbol cannot be recognized without being read and thus activating its effects.
