Silence

[Aristes]

I was considering the kits of the jobs and it just dawned on me that none of the mages have access to a silence ability. I believe this is mostly due to gameplay considerations namely giving the physical characters a unique CC advantage due to mages having access to bind and sleep.

However, I also believe that there may be some lore inspiration attached to this, perhaps mages don't practice the art of silenceing for fear of advancing that art could have negative impacts on all forms of magic including their own? War between mages is not uncommon in 14, the war of the magi is just one example so it seems that such a potent defensive tool would be a standard part of any mages arsenal. I'm not certain but I found it interesting to think about and thought I would share in case anyone else found it so.

Edit: Upon reflection I find that I was wrong, Selene does in fact have access to a silence, however, my original statement still stands as it is not directly utilized by a scholar but instead is used as a command to the fairy. Perhaps giving some validity to my claims?
