For other uses, see Silence.

Silence is a spell and a magic effect that temporarily prevents the victim from casting spells. It is a member of the Illusion school of magic, governed by the Personality attribute.

Properties and usefulness[]

Silence does not have a magnitude, and is always fully effective if successfully cast. It does not prevent the victim from using magical items, such as scrolls, potions, or enchanted items. Therefore, Silence can quickly be removed with any item that has a Dispel effect. Although a legitimate threat to spellcasters, the Paralyze effect may be preferable for use by the Nerevarine because it costs the same amount of magicka and also prevents the victim from fleeing, attacking with a melee weapon, or using any items other than ingredients or potions.
