Rydia silenced in
Final Fantasy IV
Silence is a recurring, and common, negative status effect. It is one of the few status effects that have appeared in every game in the main series to date. It has also appeared as a spell that causes said status effect.
Silence removes the victim's voice, which prevents them from casting Magic, or Singing. Common ways of curing Silence is using the Echo Herbs item or casting the magic Vox or Esuna on them. In some games, Silence lasts even after battle, however it does not inhibit characters from saying their lines during cutscenes.
