An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

Pain

Alchemy, Symbol of power

Victims who fail to resist are crippled by agony.

From the book

Victims who fail a save vs Constitution are overwhelmed by agony and can do nothing for 5-20 minutes.

As a Symbol of Power, it is traced by hand, wand or staff, goes off when anyone but its caster sees or encounters it, reaches no more than 20 ft. in radius, and stays in place until a counter-symbol or a successful counter-spell (50% per try) removes it.
