The bottom line is that you can't get the results of a 7th level spell out of a pissy little 2nd level spell without throwing caution, logic, and playbalance to the wind. So, quite obviously, Silence does not negate a sonicball.I don't care about bending lightwaves or twisting soundwaves or tying up spaghetti ultraviolet noodles. I just care about the rules. It would be pretty damn silly for a 2nd level spell to duplicate a 7th level spell while also having it's own unique function, and not a single one of you in your right mind could deny that. Since I don't believe that every single designer at WotC is a complete idiot, I can only come to the assumption that Silence doesn't negate sonic damage, that it wasn't ever meant too, and that the rules don't even suggest such a thing.Of course, that's the my opinion, I could be wrong. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
