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 maneuvers, 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.

Usage

  • PREP 210 | CAST {target} or INCANT 210 to cast this spell against a single target
  • PREP 210 | CAST to cast the OPEN version of the spell
  • INCANT 210 OPEN to open cast this spell once using INCANT
  • INCANT SET OPEN 210 to always open cast this spell using INCANT 210
  • INCANT 210 EVOKE to cast the OPEN version of the spell once using INCANT. This may potentially hit non-creatures (i.e. other player characters)
  • INCANT SET EVOKE 210 to always evoke this spell using INCANT 210. This is not recommended for open cast AoE attack spells

Mana Control Benefit

Potential targets for most open cast spells are set at a base maximum of 3, with additional targets possible for each 50 skill bonus of the appropriate mana control for this spell.

Maximum number of targets 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
