Effect
On a failed save, the target cannot speak or make vocal sounds for the duration. That can prevent ordinary speech and can interfere with abilities that depend on speaking aloud. The spell does not automatically stop movement, hearing or non-vocal actions.
Using Mute
The spell is most effective when denying communication matters: stopping a warning, silencing an orator or preventing a target from giving audible orders. The exact interaction with spellcasting depends on the verbal-component rules used by the campaign.
Material Component
A needle and a piece of thread.
