Silence 15 ft. radius (spell).jpg

Silence quells all sound and vibration within the area of effect, rendering all within that area utterly deaf to sound. While communication is possible through hand signals, gestures and mouthed words, but even a physical explosion would be enough to overcome the ear-piercing silence.

Silence, 15 ft. radius
Range 120 ft.
Duration 2 rounds per level
Area of Effect 30 ft. diameter sphere
Casting Time 1 round
Saving Throw none; see text
Level cleric (2nd)

There is no focus point for the spell, but the caster must specify what area is to be effected. For creatures with a 7 intelligence or less, the silence is deeply upsetting. Unless a saving throw is made, these creatures will flee at full speed for one round, when realizing the silence is gone. Whereupon, it takes an additional full round to regain their composure; this is similar to their being stunned. Thereafter, they can act normally.
