I had the idea of a battlefield controller that made moving into certain squares unpleasant. What would an appropriate +spell level be?

Patient Spell
You cast a spell with a range other than personal into a square within its range. The spell has no effect until a creature enters that squre, at which point it activates as normal. During this time the spell has an obvious visual, auditory, and sensory effect.

This feat sounds very similar to the Earthbound Spell feat in PHB 2, which has a +2 adjustment.

Edit: On second thought, Earthbound Spells are hard to detect and not at all obvious to the eye. A variant which is easily visible might warrant only a +1.

I would say around +2 to +4.

I based this number on Fireball (SL 3) and Delayed Blast Fireball (SL 7).

I'm not too sure if there has already been a Delay Spell (Metamagic) feat out there yet.

Found a Delay Spell Feat Here:http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/feats&tablefilter=Delay
