    \$\begingroup\$ Range is normally measured from the caster of the spell. Does Glyph of Warding say that the spell is cast from the glyph's position? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 21, 2019 at 22:45

    \$\begingroup\$ @MarkWells It says the spell is stored in the glyph, so I think it can reasonably be extrapolated that the spell is released from the glyph's position when triggered. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 21, 2019 at 23:17

    \$\begingroup\$ What about spells that have a range of self? Would those work with your "12,000 miles away" trigger? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 10, 2020 at 19:48
  • \$\begingroup\$ Agreed: Spells with a Range of Self seem problematic. Since the spell glyph treats the triggering creature as the target if (& only if) the spell has a target (what spells don't?), & the glyph is a proxy for the caster for the purposes of determining who the caster is, the glyph or the glyph's caster could be the Self affected when a creature fulfills the trigger, if spells with a Range of Self, are indeed ruled to be the spells that don't have a target implied by Glyph's wording. Are there spells that don't have a target, if not spells with a range of Self? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 11, 2024 at 0:25
