Silence (Japanese:サイレスSilence) is an offensivestaff which was introduced inFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. It is a status-inflicting staff which inflictssilence status on opponents, inhibiting the use ofmagic and the ability totalk for a period of time. Although it is a staff in most of its appearances, it is instead arod inFates due to being aligned withHoshido andwhite magic inEchoes: Shadows of Valentia andThree Houses due to that game's lack of staves.

InMystery of the Emblem and its remake,New Mystery of the Emblem, Silence completely inhibits all magic from being used by any unit on the field, both allied and enemy, for a single turn. In all other games, Silence affects one unit per cast and is not guaranteed to hit. Units with highresistance are less likely to be successfully struck by a cast of Silence. Like most status staves, Silence operates over a long range and does not require the staff user to be adjacent to the enemy.
