Power Word, Silence

Power Word, Silence gives a wizard the ability to silence an individual for seven rounds. A neutral target will not turn hostile.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
The caster selects a single creature in range to direct this spell at, using the targeting cursor.
The power word is spoken, and the targeted creature is immediately exposed to the spell's effects.
This single target disabling type spell will implement the Opcode 38 State: Silence effect on any creature not protected from that status effect.
If the spell lands, a text message display on the combat log will read "Silence". A sound effect is audibled, 3D Graphics effect (SPPOWWRD) and a Color Glow RGB effect plays over the target.
A player character will also display an Icon (No. 34) titled "Silenced" on their portrait.
Magic resistance can block this spell, and Spell Immunity: Conjuration will negate it.
The spell is a Power level 6 spell, thus certain spell protections can also deflect it, such as Spell Deflection, Spell Turning and Spell Trap.
While many hostile mages will use Vocalize to counter the effects, it is very effective against Clerics who don't have the vocalize spell.
Casting this spell upon a neutral creature won't make them hostile, even if the spell succeeds.
