The SendingStone review

Silence is a useful spell for those who want to temporarily disable an enemy's ability to cast spells. It has a range of 120 feet and a casting time of one action. The spell's duration is up to 10 minutes with concentration required. It belongs to the Bard, Cleric, and Ranger classes and requires only the components of verbal and somatic. As a level 2 spell, it has a ritual version with the same duration. Silence is great for sneaking around or disabling spellcasters. Overall, it is a valuable spell to have in one's arsenal.
