I'm looking at the option of storing Simulacrum in an 8th-level Glyph of Warding. My question is how it will determine what creature gets duplicated.
Simulacrum says:
You shape an illusory duplicate of one beast or humanoid that is within range for the entire casting time of the spell.
Glyph of Warding says:
If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that triggered the glyph.
I'm not sure if the quoted section of Simulacrum counts as "targeting a creature". I could basically see two ways this plays out, and I'm not sure which way it should go:
You store Simulacrum, targeting yourself, in Glyph of Warding. Whenever the glyph is triggered, it summons a simulacra of yourself as you were when you inscribed the glyph.
You store Simulacrum in a Glyph of Warding. When the glyph is triggered, it "targets" and summons a copy of the creature who triggered the glyph. If they are a valid target (humanoid or beast) it creates a simulacra of the target in the state they were in when the glyph was triggered.
Which interpretation is correct?
