The Simbul's Spell Trigger (Wizard Spell)

When memorizing this spell, a wizard must select one to four other spells of 1st to 7th levels. The number of spells is at the discretion of the wizard, though the maximum cannot be exceeded, and the spells can be of the same level or even be identical-for example, four death spells. The selected magics must be cast immediately after the spell trigger is memo­rized, employing the usual material compo­nents, but preceding each casting with the word that will later unleash the trigger. (The word forms the verbal component of the spell; when it is spoken the spell trigger is cast.) The spells need not be cast by the wizard memorizing the spell trigger, or even by a wizard; priest spells can be linked to a spell trigger.
The spells have no effect at the time they are cast, but when the trigger word is later uttered (casting the spell trigger), all of them take effect in the same round, one after the other, in the order in which they were cast, until all the spells have taken effect. Spell damage is always the maximum possible, and targets are selected by the will of the trigger caster. The trigger-caster must be able to see all intended targets when the spell trigger is cast.
