-The alarm can be calibrated to detect movement from anything weighing at least three pounds, though the caster may choose a different minimum weight as necessary. This allows for flexibility in targeting, preventing the alarm from being triggered by small, insignificant disturbances. The spell does not detect non-material beings, including [[Demon|demons]], [[Devil|devils]], incorporeal [[Undead|undead]] or [[Ethereal Plane (inner plane)|ethereal]] creatures, which pass through undisturbed.

 Because of its nature, the alarm sound may also attract certain creatures, such as [[Shrieker|shriekers]], which are drawn to noise. The pitch of the alarm is customisable at the caster's discretion, though it cannot be formed into words, music or complex tones.

	'''Alarm''' is a spell that traps a space with an enchanted warning system, triggering a loud sound whenever a creature or object of a designated weight enters the area of effect. The alarm can be heard up to 180 feet away, or 36 [[Combat Hex\|hexes]]. Within 12 hexes, the sound is loud and unmistakable. Between 13 and 24 hexes, it is distinct but less jarring, and beyond 25 hexes, it's faint yet still noticeable.

-Traps a space, so that a person entering the area of effect will trip a magical alarm that can be heard as far as 180 ft., or 36 [[Combat Hex|hexes]]. The sound will be loud and unmistakable up to 12 hexes, distinct at 13-24 hexes and faint at 25-36 hexes.

-The alarm will detect the movement of things as small as three pounds, if so desired by the caster; however, the caster can set the minimum to whatever number seems best. Non-material beings (such as [[Demon|demons]], [[Devil|devils]], incorporeal [[Undead|undead]], [[Ethereal Plane (inner plane)|ethereal]] creatures and the like) cannot be detected. As well, the alarm will tend to attract certain creatures, such as [[Shrieker|shriekers]].
+In addition to covering areas, the spell may also be attached to specific objects rather than the entire room or passage. This allows for more precise security, ensuring that a person entering a space does not trigger the alarm unless they interact with a specific door, chest or item enchanted by the spell.

 The pitch of the sound made is optional; but words or music is not.  Items may be triggered with the spell rather than areas, so that a person moving through a room would not set off the alarm unless they opened a specific door or touched a specific object.
