[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5371032, member: 75712"] [I]Silence[/I] spell works to shut down spell with verbal components, if the caster fails his will save. Also, when grappling, if a caster is pinned the guy grappling him has the option to silence/unsilence him at will. Of course, if the caster is tied up and gagged, he is also silenced. Also, a vorpal sword can remove the caster's head, making speech difficult. ;) If you want other ways to make casting difficult without resorting to [I]silence[/I], remember that casting a spell usually draws an attack of opportunity, so if the wizard takes damage while casting he has to make a Concentration check or the spell fizzles. There are other effects that [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/castingSpells.htm#concentration"]force Concentration checks when spellcasting[/URL], as well: casting in certain contitions (like ships in storms or from galloping horses, and so on); casting in a swarm (due to their distraction effect); casting under the effects of ongoing damage; and so on. There's also [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/castingSpells.htm#counterspells"]counterspelling[/URL], which allows another caster to interrupt a caster's spell. [/QUOTE]
