But, playing exactly as it's written, the "harms other creatures" bit is little more than flavor text. It clearly demonstrates the intent of the spell, but provides no limitations for using it as such.I see no reason why the spell would have to come from the glyph. The spell description itself suggest that, when using the spell to inscribe a glyph inside a closed object (chest, book, etc.), it's a good idea to use a trigger of "Approaching within some distance." If the spell were to come from the glyph, and would therefore be subject to typical line of effect rules, nearly all spells would fail because the glyph would go off inside the object - the Fireball would detonate inside the chest, the "Harm" would just try to rot the pages of the book, etc. As for range, well, the rather direct language of "it targets the creature" or "is centered on the creature" implies to me that the effect just happens. Under "Range" on pg. 203 of the PHB, it says "The target of a spell must be within the spell's range." Glyph of Warding defines the target of the Spell Glyph spell (Fireball, etc.), which sets the range of the spell.I see no reason why it would only be one trigger to one glyph. Why not set multiple glyphs to the same word, of create a sentence out of them to activate them all in sequence? You could say, I suppose, that you couldn't keep defining the same trigger to each glyph without triggering the earlier glyphs, but a character with a couple levels in Sorcerer can use Subtle Metamagic to define the password or action without triggering them.Unfortunately, I don't think Meteor Swarm qualifies. The spell glyph states that "The spell must target a single creature or an area." Meteor Swarm target four separate areas, no an area. Also, so far as I know, there's no way to put a 9th-level spell in a Glyph of Warding. It would require a character to have two 9th-level spell slots, which no class has thus far.Again, I would never allow such uses in my games, nor would I use them as a player, but exactly as written... Madness! I would allow for special, character-focused uses, such as my Captain Marvel character above, but in general, I wouldn't allow it.</blockquote>
