Description

as symbol of death, but fills a 5-foot square.

this spell functions like symbol of death, except that using the material component, you scribe a symbol of striking so it fills a 5-foot square. once triggered, the symbol of striking glows and lasts for 10 minutes per caster level or until it has made a number of attacks of opportunity equal to your level, whichever comes first. when triggered, the symbol threatens its area and the area around it as if it were a medium creature wielding a magic version of the weapon you used as the material component. using your caster level + 1 + your intelligence modifier (magus, witch, wizard) or wisdom modifier (cleric) or charisma modifier (oracle, sorcerer) as its attack bonus, the symbol can make a number of attacks of opportunity each round equal to 1 + the same ability score modifier you used to determine its attack bonus. it gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to the same ability score modifier you used to determine its attack bonus. a shadowy version of you wielding the material component appears to make these attacks. the symbol attacks any non-attuned creature that provokes an attack of opportunity from the symbol. however, when the symbol first attacks a creature, the symbol must overcome that creature's spell resistance or be rendered unable to harm it. the symbol never again attacks such creatures. further, when the symbol first attacks a creature, a successful will saving throw allows the creature to see the shadow nature of the attacks and take half damage when such attacks hit.
