Bigby's Silencing Hand (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates an appropriately sized hand that will fly toward the chosen creature and clamp tightly over the creature's mouth unless the crea­ture makes its saving throw. A creature affected by the spell will be unable to talk clearly, cannot cast any spell requiring a verbal component, or use a magical item triggered by an audible command word. The hand cannot be pulled away from a creature's mouth or be harmed by a physi­cal attack, but can be destroyed by six or more points of magical damage, although most magical attacks carry the risk of harming the affected creature. A successful dispel magic spell destroys the hand without injury to the creature.
The material component is a cloth glove smeared with sticky syrup or honey.
Notes: Uncommon or rare (WoG).
