You set an alarm against unwanted intrusion.

Target. A door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube.

Effect. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a Tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area.

An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.
