descr: "You ward an area to alert you when creatures enter without your permission.\
  \ When you cast *alarm*, select a password. Whenever a Small or larger corporeal\
  \ creature enters the spell's area without speaking the password, *alarm* sends\
  \ your choice of a mental alert (in which case the spell gains the mental trait)\
  \ or an audible alarm with the sound and volume of a hand bell (in which case the\
  \ spell gains the auditory trait). Either option automatically awakens you, and\
  \ the bell allows each creature in the area to attempt a DC 15 Perception check\
  \ to wake up. A creature aware of the alarm must succeed at a Stealth check against\
  \ the spell's DC or trigger the spell when moving into the area.  \n\n---\n**Heightened\
  \ (3rd)**  You can specify criteria for which creatures sound the alarm spell-for\
  \ instance, orcs or masked people."
