Editing LeviathanTempest:ExampleSilver (section)

=== '''Imposing Silence (OO)''' ===
The Leviathan gives off a subsonic hum or produces a disorienting phosphorescent display which interferes with the minds of those subject to its Wake, forcing them into awed silence unless the Leviathan wishes for them to speak. Wake-resistant creatures can also be stifled but resist more easily.

For the duration of the effect, valid targets in the region cannot speak unless they defeat the Leviathan in an contested roll, which permits them to speak for long enough to get out a handful of sentences. The Leviathan may chose to acknowledge a subject to permit them to speak freely (essentially forfeiting the opposed roll). An exceptional victory on a resistance roll permits the Leviathan to prohibit resistance for the rest of the scene, or allows the subject to speak freely as though the effect were not in place. 

Imposing Silence lasts for about five minutes.
