• Duration: Special (see below)

You imbue the touched object with the magic of a silence spell, but that magic remains dormant until you use a bonus action to touch the object and speak a command word you designate. When you do so, for 1 minute, no sound can be created within or pass through a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the enchanted object.

As per the silence spell, any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage, and creatures are deafened while entirely inside it. Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible within the sphere.

The duration of this spell is permanent until the effect is activated. Once it is activated, the silence effect lasts for a duration of 1 minute, and then the spell ends. This spell ends early if you cast it again.
