Silenced

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Silenced is a debuff that prevents the player from using any item which uses mana, stopping them from using magic and summon weapons (though existing summons will still remain).

The debuff can be prevented from afflicting the player by equipping the Megaphone or its derivatives.

Notes

  • The Silenced debuff will still prevent the player from using the Space Gun with a full set of Meteor armor, despite it costing no mana.
  • The Silenced debuff only prevents item usage via Use / Attack. Items used via other methods can still be used (e.g. the Forbidden armor's set bonus).
  • Although inflicted by a small pool of enemies, it is recommended that mages worried about this debuff should bring a Megaphone or make a Ankh Shield as the debuff is extremely deadly when there are many enemies on screen.

Trivia

  • The effect of Silenced is related to how in popular fiction, casting magic sometimes requires saying certain words out loud. Therefore, being silenced would prevent casting any magic.
