Can I use the druid spel hallow as a trap?


Rules Questions


Hello all, quick question :-)

The druid spell Hallow (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/hallow.htm) has a simulair protection function as magic circle against evil. "First, the site or structure is guarded by a magic circle against evil effect. "

The magic circle against evil can also be turned inwards to use as a trap... is this than also possible with hallow? In other words, can I for example trap a creature in a hallowed building for example?

No. Read the Magic Circle text again:

Quote:
This spell has an alternative version that you may choose when casting it. A magic circle against evil can be focused inward rather than outward. When focused inward, the spell binds a nongood called creature (such as those called by the lesser planar binding, planar binding, and greater planar binding spells) for a maximum of 24 hours per caster level, provided that you cast the spell that calls the creature within 1 round of casting the magic circle. The creature cannot cross the circle's boundaries. If a creature too large to fit into the spell's area is the subject of the spell, the spell acts as a normal protection from evil spell for that creature only.

The inward version only works if you're the one calling the creature.
