Quell
(Illusion/Phantasm)
Level: 2
Range: 30 yds. + 10 yds./level
Components: S, M
Duration: 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Neg.
Quell renders the target creature mute. The target creature is totally unable to utter a sound, no matter how small, not even a whisper, if it fails its initial saving throw vs. spell. In essence, quell immobilizes the target’s vocal cords. Those affected by this spell can communicate only through hand gestures and written notes (if literate), while quelled spellcasters are unable to cast spells the require verbal components. A dispel magic spell remains a viable remedy for removing the effects of quell.
The material components for this spell includes a broken whistle the no longer sounds.
Notes: Found in the codex of silence; very rare spell.
