We're back to the runes.
We could use the FRCS rune magic, as well as the runecaster prestige class, for inspiration.
Essentially, runes can contain any divine spell the caster knows and are triggered by touch. An erase spell, targeted dispel magic, or a rogue with Disable Device can attempt to disarm a rune.
Runecasters gain additional powers, such as making their runes activated when read or passed. They gain +1 divine spellcasting level per runecaster level.
So maybe....
Runes (Su): A land linnorm does not gain spells like most other linnorms. Instead, it may select up to 12 spells per day to inscribe as runes. These spells must be selected from the cleric spell list and the X domains. Inscribing a rune is a full-round action. Once inscribed, a rune is activated by touch. The save DCs for runes are equal to 10 + spell level + land linnorm's Wisdom modifier (15 + spell level for a typical land linnorm). Caster level 17th?
An erase spell (DC 15 + linnorm's caster level) or a targeted dispel magic spell can disable a rune. A rogue with Disable Device can attempt to disarm a rune as if it were a magic trap (DC 25 + spell level).
In all other respects, runes function as divine spells.
