You set an alarm against unwanted intruders. Choose a door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you when a Tiny or larger creature touches or enters the protected area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won’t set off the alarm. You can also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible.
A mental alarm alerts you with a hiss in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the protected area. This hiss wakes you if you are sleeping.
An audible alarm produces the sound of a bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.
