Silence (Final Fantasy V status)

Silence is a status in Final Fantasy V that disables the use of Black Magic, White Magic, Red Magic, Time Magic, Summon, Spellblade, Sing, and Dark Arts. Blue Magic is unaffected as well as magic used through weapons. Enemy spells are considered Blue Magic and thus are unaffected by silence. Enemies' "Dark Arts" are also unaffected by silence status. Silence does not persist outside of battle, unlike in some other games in the series. Those affected by silence have a speech bubble with an ellipsis above their head.
