Silence is a warding spell that influences the spirits of sound to place a pall of silence over a target. 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 maneuvers, such as some variants of Major Elemental Wave.

The open cast version of Silence will attempt to affect up to 3 targets, increased by training in Spiritual Mana Control. It will also ignore targets that are already under the effects of Silence.
