==Description==
<!-- Short description blurb for transclusion --><section begin=description /><includeonly>A single or multi-target warding spell that inflicts the [[silenced]] status. While silenced, the target will be unable to speak, sing, or prepare or cast a spell.</includeonly><section end=description />
'''Silence''' influences the spirits of sound to place a pall of silence over the target, subject to a [[warding]] roll. While [[silenced]], the target will be unable to speak, sing, or prepare or cast a spell.

Not all creatures will react to, or be affected by Silence.  In addition, Silence only prevents spells that require a preparation. It will not stop spell-like effects from [[creature maneuver]]s, such as some variants of [[Major Elemental Wave]].

The [[open cast]] version of Silence will attempt to affect multiple targets starting at a base maximum of 3, increasing with training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]]. It will also ignore targets that are already under the effects of Silence.
