Description

This spell functions like Symbol of Death (Spell), except that all creatures within 60 feet of a Symbol of Weakness instead suffers crippling weakness that deals 3d6 points of Strength damage.

Unlike Symbol of Death (Spell), Symbol of Weakness has no hit point limit; once triggered, a symbol of weakness simply remains active for 10 minutes per caster level. A creature can only be affected by this symbol once.

Note: Magic traps such as Symbol of Weakness are hard to detect and disable. While any character can use Perception to find a symbol, only a character with the Trapfinding (Ex) class feature can use Disable Device to disarm it. The DC in each case is 25 + spell level, or 30 for Symbol of Weakness.
