[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6512975, member: 2011"] Until the NPC walks out the door at the back of the small room and the Silence spell is wasted. Or the NPC bowmen shoots the PC caster and the Silence spell fizzles before the NPC caster's turn even comes up. Yes, it can be (especially when used by a DM spamming it in a small area against PCs who cast spells). But, a PC who is limited to the number of spells per day might need to know that he will be facing spell casters that day. Otherwise, he wastes a prepped spell day after day after day just hoping that those "right circumstances" come along and when they do, the bowman shoots him and the spell fizzles. :lol: Spoken like a DM.
