Pages From the Mages Version[]
This spell allows the recipient to cast spells that normally require a verbal component without the caster needing to make a sound. Such spells must be cast within the duration of the vocalize spell. This spell is also useful in situations where quiet is desired, or when the recipient is under the influence of a silence spell.
Vocalize does not negate a silence spell, but merely offsets it for the purpose of spell casting; if a spell caster under the effect of vocalize casts a spell that has some audible effect, that sound will be masked for as long as silence remains in force. Vocalize does not affect normal vocal communication.
The material component for this spell is a small golden bell without a clapper
Wizard's Spell Compendium Version[]
The recipient of this spell can cast spells with a verbal component without having to make any noise, so long as the casting takes place entirely within the duration of the vocalize spell. Only the verbal requirement of spells is deleted. This spell has no effect on other noises or speech it simply removes a spell's verbal component.
This spell is of great use when quiet is desired in spellcasting, or when the individual has been magically silenced. The vocalize spell does not negate the magical silence, it merely allows the wizard to cast spells without verbal components.
The material component of this spell is a bell with no clapper.
Notes: Uncommon spell.
