It lets you get that one good shot off while the victim can't scream. The paladin might find their vocal component spells not working in the first turn of a combat. Still, they will put it down to a quirk of the enchantment and even a handy benefit. Not knowing the origin of the item. The scabbard will be overjoyed to meet the sword. It can cast silence when the cleric is trying to heal the paladin, when he needs to call for help, when he needs to negotiate a truce, when he needs to cast a spell. It is patient though and will bide its time.I don't know the sword in question, do you have to attune to it? Certainly in my games attunement is a pretty big deal, you are binding some pretty integral parts of yourself to the item. If so, then nightmares, subtle influences and dark desires are likely to come from binding to an evil item, even if you stop it talking.</blockquote>
