The Symbol of [blank] spells. I'm playing a Pathfinder Oracle. Spell selection is limited. I was considering taking Symbol of Sleep to give me a battlefield control spell. But then I got to thinking about how these spells could be used.
Someone in another thread suggested inscribing the Symbol onto an object, like a small rock, and throwing the rock into combat, with an appropriate instruction built into the symbol.
I also got to thinking, if the rock is usable repeatedly (permenancy or not) would it be worth while to pay someone else to make such an object rather than take the spell myself? Even if it were only a once per day use item (for any of the Symbol of [blank] lines, including Symbol of Healing) it sounds like it would be an excellent tool.
I only had 5 minutes to glance at the spell description when someone suggested it to me, so I could be greatly mistaken on how this all works. And no, I can't look it up on pathfinder SRD due to blockers here on my work computer.
And yes, I'm aware that I should be playing a Cleric instead of an Oracle, the Life mystery/revelations sounded cool at the time, my next healer is a proper Cleric.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments about my sanity?
