They are no present in the PHB and the DMG lists both as magical traps but I cannot find the DC number to do this.   Also, the book says that you can use a Intelligence (Arcana) to disable a magical trap. But also states that you can do an ability check to dispel it. The ability check is again Intelligence (Arcana)? Or spellcasting ability, as described on the spell?   EDIT: after looking at the PHB again, I think the answer is in the Dispel Magic spell description. If you cast the spell upon an object currently having a spell of 3rd level or lower on it, the spell is dispelled, and you have to check for spells of higuer levels.   So, glyph of warding would be automatically dispelled and symbol, being a 7th-level spell, requires a spellcasting check of DC 17. is this correct?   Also, what would be the DC's for disabling them?
