Notes:

1. By default Magic Mouth is Triggered when a Being (an "Intruder") enters (not exits or moves within) the Radius, provided that the Intruder would be sensed by a Person at the location of the Magic Mouth without using Thievish abilities, but having Infravision, (a "Hypothetical Observer") and that the Intruder fails a saving throw.
2. Although the Hypothetical Observer is not using Th abilities, the Magic Mouth may be set with a Th Difficulty Level vs HIDE Activities as a variable parameter.  This DL applies only in determining whether the Magic Mouth is Triggered, by causing HIDE Activities to fail so that the Th would be detected by an observer (with Infravision).  It does not apply to the success of the HIDE Activity against a real observer.  The DL variable parameter applies instead of the default system specified in General Note 4. to Illusionist Spells.
3. Magic Mouth may be set to Trigger on any other condition specified in the Incantation occurring within the Radius.  It will so Trigger when a Hypothetical Observer would have judged the condition to be fulfilled, on the evidence of his senses (as determined by the Illusionist Elemental).  If the fulfillment of the condition is dependent on the actions or omissions of a Being, that Being gets a saving throw.  Conditions are best kept simple, as Elementals can be awkward.
4. When Magic Mouth Triggers, by default it shouts "Alarm!" in every second of the Alarm period in an imitation of the Caster's voice.  It may be set in the Incantation of the Alarm parameter to shout other words or phrases or to make other sounds, which words, phrases or sounds the Caster must record immediately after the Incantation.  He may use others to make the recording, which picks up all sound made within the Radius, to be replayed from the Magic Mouth during the Alarm.
5. The unTriggered Magic Mouth is invisible, but may be detected with Detect Magic.  When it is Triggered, it appears as a Visual Illusion of the Caster's mouth, having the tongue used as the Materials, during the period of the Alarm.
