[Slydria]

Silence has always been a pretty deliberating status that renders most magicians useless, it's one of the few statuses that can potentially shut out a character entirely. While there are means to cure it, it's still quite nasty to be hit with.

So to alleviate that issue, I'd like to propose we reintroduce an idea from SL1, the idea of verbal and non-verbal spells. You could probably tell the difference by an icon. (Like the ones that determine things like targeting, spell school, etc.)

Naturally, non-verbal spells would be ones you could cast despite being Silenced. Though, this would be limited and most of the non-verbal spells would be basic. Things like healing spells, Invocations or particularly potent ones would be considered Verbal so Silence still remains as a counter to powerful spells.

I'm going to list what spells I think should be considered eligible to be non-verbal. Feel free to suggest others that could be considered.


Suggestions for Non-Verbal Spells:

Mage: Fir, Miu, Vyd, Isendo, Rye
Curate: Kel, Holy Arrow, Quickness, Invigoration, Brighten
Bonder: Riagri
Lantern Bearer: Focused Beam
