| notes = * Only those considered an enemy can trigger the glyph. For the player's party this is indicated via a red circle beneath the creature, red outlines when highlighted, and denoted by a red dot on the minimap. Neutral, friendly, and allied creatures (highlighted yellow/green/blue respectively) can safely go through the glyph.
** This makes using the glyph as a trap difficult for many encounters. Specifically, those that normally only consider creatures hostile after dialogue.
* When the glyph is triggered, everyone within the area is affected, regardless of allegiance.
* When the spellcaster is surrounded by enemies, sometimes it is worth throwing the glyph down right at their feet.
