  • Verbal component
rdfs:comment
  • The verbal component was a basic part of spellcasting. Most spells required the caster to complete a spoken incantation in a clear, powerful voice. Being gagged or magically silenced prevent one from casting such a spell. The spoken words of arcane spells somehow affected the Weave directly, while those spoken by divine magic casters were expressions of faith in their deities.
  • A spell which has a verbal spell component is one that requires some form of spoken incantation in order to cast properly. The spellcaster must be able to speak in a strong voice and if this is hampered they may not be able to use verbal spells effectively. The spell silence prevents any spell with a verbal component from being cast. Spells cast using the silent spell metamagic no longer have to fulfill the verbal component requirement. A spellcaster who has been deafened has a 20% chance to spoil any spell with a verbal component that he or she tries to cast.
