Elements of Magic

[Vaxalon]

How would you use Elements of Magic to accomplish the following spells:

Alarm
Fire Trap
Magic Mouth
Symbol

I can't seem to find any way of accomplishing those things.

You have to use the contingency option, which isn't detailed in the limited teaser. It allows the activation of a spell up to one week (at least the last version I saw). Furthermore you have to look for the required spell effects in the spell lists.

• Alarm: Illusion Sound/Illusion Air
• Fire Trap: Evoke Fire
• Magic Mouth: see Alarm
• Symbol: Depends on the effect
  • Symbol of Death: Evoke Death
  • Symbol of Sleep: Charm [Creature]

For more persistent spells you have to use Permanent Spell or another Item Creation feat.

Aha! Contingency option, that's what I'm missing.

I have the full PDF file, where is contingency?

Oh. Elements of Magic is being revised. In the original version, the spells you mentioned aren't that easy to do. In the revised edition, they will be. The revised edition isn't out yet, but you can download a teaser on the EN Publishing site.
