Silence should be reworked
Lets say you use it in tomb. The AOE shrinks quite rapidly and you find yourself silenced while a bunch of mummies are now freely able to torment you. Cancellation potion is a thing but those are rare. Basically, its never a good idea to use silence when there are multiple spellcasting threats, whether it be tomb or anywhere else. In those situations your plan should be how do i get out of here or manage LOS instead of silence and go to town.
So the times you can safely use silence is when there is pretty much only that single threat, but in that situation, you dont need silence to deal with it do you?
I believe there are two ways to make silence actually worthwhile. One way is to make it not shrink during its duration. Personally i would still never use it because being silenced sucks, but at least it would keep the monsters silenced too instead of just yourself. I think the better solution would be to make it possible to end silence like end transformation.
