Quiet the Light

Ability Name: Quiet the Light
Ability Type: Support (Silence Spell)
Ability Cost: 15 MP (30 MP Ranged)
Ability Cooldown: 8 Posts
Ability Element: Darkness
Ability Description: Using her Darkness, Alyx is capable of casting a spell of silence by either touching somebody or throwing the spell into the fray, causing silence to anyone alike, friend or foe for up to fifteen feet around in a circle. During this silence, no magic, summon or drive form is able to be cast until Alyx's Orb of Darkness is broken, this orb of darkness having the END equal to her tier; only dissipating by either destruction from an outside source, dispelled by herself or made to drop it- to which it shatters and the spell ends.

When you cast this in an area, is it immediate or is it gradual/avoidable?

I'd put it as gradual, so to make it able to be dodged or deflected, but is it possible to make it an instant without making an autohit?

If not, I'll set it to Gradual.

It's up to you. If you want it to be instant, you'd have to increase the cost or the cool down, though.

Increased it to eight.

Should I increase it more?

Nah.

Approved.

*Disclaimer: As I am pretty new to this new system and whatnot, there is a small chance this may be looked at again in the future in the case I missed/misunderstood something.
