Fixedart to make spells quieter?

[phloomp]

I'm imagining an artifact, maybe an artifact staff of conjurations, which caps all spell noise and casting noise at 2. This would fit into the venerable tradition (exemplified by the Boots of the Assassin and probably Cloak of the Thief) of fixedarts that are way OP but let the player experience crawl with very different mechanics. Mostly because I'm curious about how much it would change the game if you had it.

Mask of Silence {rSil -Wiz Int+3 +Sil *Curse Clar}

This mask has no mouth to speak with, though you suspect that embracing your own silence may make everything clear ...

You can cast and pray while wearing this mask (but not read scrolls). You can evoke Silence with it; any noise that you silence will increases the duration of Silence proportional to the amount of noise.

I'm aware that the *Curse is devious.

so you pour potions in your eyes to drink them?

I mean, obviously the mask has one of those beer holders on top with a straw for the user to drink it with.

I thought OP wrote "quicker".

Looking forward to a fixedart that makes spells take only 80% of the normal time to cast.

Hurricos's idea looks potentially interesting. I'd try it out if it was in the game.

Mask of Silence {rSil -Wiz Int+3 +Sil *Curse Clar}

*Contam or similar rather than *Curse. With *Curse you could never remove it and you couldn't ?Identify anything anymore either.

How do YOU drink potions?
