Silence (Final Fantasy XII status)

Silence is a status in Final Fantasy XII that renders the affected unable to use magicks or summon Espers, but can still use attacks and Technicks. Quickenings were sealed when silenced in the original version, but can still be used in the Zodiac versions. Silence does not wear off over time like most other statuses, and even persists after KO. 
==Abilities==
Spell 	Silence & Silencega (Green [OG] / Black Magicks [Zodiac])
Weapon	Mage Masher 15%
When the player equips the Manufacted Nethicite accessory, they have permanent Silence that cannot be removed.
Silence and Silencega spells' efficacy depends on stats and potential Faith on the caster or Shell on the target, but the spells will always inflict the status unless the recipient is outright immune when the caster equips the Indigo Pendant.
Silenced characters can use Stamp to pass it onto others. If they also have Manufacted Nethicite they will always have the status, ready to use Stamp, though this is likely the most cumbersome method of inflicting it.
Silence can also be inflicted with items designed to heal it when the item-user equips the Nihopalaoa accessory.
