It used to come in handy for me with a grand master RBDM behind the screen.Vocalize (Alteration)Level: 2Components: S, MRange: TouchCasting Time: 1 roundDuration: 5 roundsSaving Throw: NoneArea of Effect: One spell-casting creatureExplanation/Description: This spell allows the recipient to cast spells that normally require a verbal component without having to make a sound, so long as the casting of the subsequent spell(s) takes place entirely within the duration of the vocalize spell. This spell is of great use in situations where quiet is desired, or when the recipient is under the influence of a silence spell. The vocalize spell does not negate possible effects upon other vocal communication (a message spell could be cast from within an area of magical silence, but no information would be transmitted back to the caster). The spell does not negate the effect of silence, but merely offsets it for the purpose subsequent spell casting. If a spell cast by means of a vocalize spell has some audible effect, that sound will be masked for as long as the silence spell remains in force. The material component of this spell is a bell without a clapper, or else a jailbird's tongue.A 3.0/3.5E version might look something like this, with descriptive text similar to the 1E version.VocalizeTransmutationLevel: Brd 2, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 2Components: S, MCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: 5 roundsSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: Yes (harmless)</blockquote>
