[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 227612, member: 4036"] If it stops a horn of blasting or a destrachan blast, I'd say it stops a sonic ball. For game balance equivalent I'd say that silence isn't prepared often due to lack of sonic attacks, but if it were readied against a foe you are prepared against, it'd effectively be a really limited in application anti-magic field. Of course, you can't retaliate (or at least you are limited to spells without V components), but I'd say it's a fair use of the spell. Gives second thoughts to the energy substitution sonic people who bypass everything's resistances. As to Screaming weapons, I have no earthly idea why it says that. Maybe they meant it that way, maybe they meant to say it doesn't work in a silenced area. Who knows? I just thought from the strong verbage in the Silence spell that it'd stop sound and sonic attacks like horns of blasting or sonic balls or great shouts. I could be wrong... [/QUOTE]
