Absolute Silence

9th-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 1 mile

Components: V, S, M (a crystal shard)

Duration: 1 hour

You envelop a 1-mile-radius area in magical silence, preventing all sound-based effects and communication. No sound can be made, transmitted, or perceived within the area. Spells with verbal components fail, and creatures within the area must make Wisdom saves or become disoriented due to the oppressive silence.
