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

Ward vs Thieves

Alchemy, Symbol of warding

Placed on doors or chests to foil lock-picking and knock spells.

From the book

A thief's bane, drawn on doors, chests and similar places. It protects against attempts to pick the lock, knock spells and the like.

Like all Symbols of Warding, it is traced by hand, wand or staff, forms an invisible barrier up to 20 ft. in radius, stays where it was drawn, and lasts until removed by a counter-symbol or a counter-spell (50% per try).
