Dormant[]
When attuned to Silence, the keeper gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Silence has 4 charges, and regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. When the keeper is targeted by an enemy’s spell, they can use their reaction to have the sword swallow part of the spell. Silence gains a number of charges equal to the spell level of the triggering spell. The keeper is still subject to whatever effects the spell would normally inflict on them. The ability cannot be used again until they finish a rest. When the keeper hits with an attack, they can choose to expend any number of charges from Silence, dealing an additional 1d6 force damage per charge expended, which is inflicted on the target of that attack.
Awakened[]
The bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to a +2. Silence grants the keeper advantage on all saving throws against spells and other magical effects. The sword’s maximum charges becomes 6, and it regains 1d4+2 charges daily at dawn. When using Silence' ability to swallow a spell, the keeper gains resistance to the damage of that spell.
Exalted[]
The bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to a +3. Silence' maximum charges becomes 10, and it regains 1d6+4 charges daily at dawn.

Third Era[]
An inherited "duty" of the eladrin house Ilphelkiir, better recognized as the family curse, one high elf of every generation kept Silence, and bore it against the enemies of the family, and of the kingdom of Eternia. Two such keepers were Vartan and his nephew, Mindartis.
