Filverel's doorward

Filverel's doorward was a spell developed by Filverel Donnathlascen. It was a combination spell, which melded wizard lock with magic missile.
==Effects==
The spell affected one doorway, hatch, or other entryway protected by some covering, and it affected all coverings on that doorway. When anyone touched the doorway, the spell unleashed a magic missile at them. The guarded surface could do this only once a minute, and was discharged after two such attacks. It did not attack nonliving creatures, nor those protected against spells. dispel magic was effective at breaking this spell; an untriggered doorward could easily endure for centuries.
==Components==
The spell required verbal components and somatic components, as well as a very complex series of material components. It required a drop or three of the caster's saliva, and a pinch of dust that had once settled on a potion or some surface that was bearing an active symbol or glyph spell at the time. More importantly, and in a manner unique to this spell, it could only be cast by a mage who was already familiar with magic missile and wizard lock.
==History==
The spell was developed by Filverel Donnathlascen.
