It just seems to me that certain spells should be considered preemptive. For example, you can't get shot with an acid arrow and then cast protection from acid. Well, you could, but you would already have been damaged by the acid. If you suspect you are going into a fight with acid shooters, then you cast protection from acid. Likewise, as the spell description suggests, if you are anticipating a need for quiet, or if you suspect a mage battle coming up and hence the possibility of being silenced, then you should preemptively cast vocalize. That way if you DO get silenced you'll be okay because you don't need to speak anyway. And also in the spell description it says that vocalize REMOVES the verbal component from other spells. It does NOT say that it has no verbal component. Somebody out there has to see what I'm saying...or perhaps you all just think I'm an idiot not worth responding to, which may be true [img]smile.gif[/img] Perhaps my conception of the spell is faulty. Perhaps I am visualizing it as a sort of protection from silence, when in fact what the Balrog Lord says is true, that you don't need to speak to cast vocalize. It's like a Jeanie thing...just cross your arms, nod your head quickly and blink.
