.. index:: deafened; by silence spell

For the duration, no sound can be created within or pass through a
20-foot radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range. Any
creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder
damage, and creatures are :ref:`deafened` while entirely inside it. Casting a
spell that includes a verbal component is impossible there.
