This spell is similar to the 3rd-level priest spell glyph of warding and the 4th-level spell glyph of shielding. Unlike glyph of warding and glyph of shielding, glyph of smiting is cast on a melee weapon used by the priest himself. If in combat, the priest is successfully attacks with the weapon with the glyph of smiting on it, the glyph is set off and affects the target. Damage from the glyph replaces any normal weapons damage.
This occurs even if the target would normally take no damage from the attack (i.e.: was protected by a stoneskin or similar magic). The priest is not affected by the glyph of smiting, but the weapon must save versus disintegration or be destroyed, regardless of the type of glyph. See the 3rd-level priest spell glyph of warding for restrictions and typical glyphs. Any priest spell or its reverse may be used as a glyph of smiting, provided the priest is high enough level to cast it. The material components of the spell are determined by the type of glyph (if any are necessary).
Glyph of smiting may be combined with the spiritual weapon spells (spiritual hammer, spiritual staff, spiritual flail, and spiritual mace) by casting it on the material component of the spell (i.e. the weapon) prior to casting the spell itself. Note that a successful attack which sets off the glyph immediately ends the spiritual weapon spell.
