This spell has never worked, and despite numerous bug reports, still does not. I recall dms saying they have no idea why it does not.

Could it be rescripted to do something else entirely then?
 
Like, a sonic version of Delayed Blast Fireball if possible.
 
Just an idea

Nihm

A weaker, but longer, version of Firewall perhaps?

Have it do the effects of both alarm and delayed fireball (but weaker)

Maybe Glyph of Warding can be a monster? Like, a summon that goes Kamikazee whenever a PC or monster approaches it, regardless of hostility and such?
All the world's problems can be solved by discussing them with trolls in IRC

Well, when I think GLYPH OF WARDING< I think a spell that keeps people out
Not, "Explodes when entered."
Generally explosions keep people from wanting to enter
<@Johannes> Well
<@Johannes> Summoning some kind of sentry might be possible
<@Johannes> That just attacks anything
Can it be tethered to the location?
You mean like make it immobile?
No
<@Johannes> Well, it could be scripted to return to its initial location.
Or make it port back if it gets too far
Like it runs back to it's location if it move smore than x away from it's location
*moves more
I see stuff like that done all the time yeah
the Glyph of Warding would be high spot/listen, or maybe instant detection against stealthed and invis pcs- but the draw back would be that it attacks anything htat gears near it.
that gets near*
Well, maybe not insta detect versus stealth
Just make it spam called shot leg
But tremor sense.

A summon created by the Glyph that attacks anything approaching it seems like a fun idea in my book!
