Silent Spellcasting

Skillful in non-verbal spellcasting, you gain new options for casting spells:

• If a spell requires a verbal component, but does not require a somatic component, you may replace the verbal component with a somatic component. The spell is otherwise cast normally.
• If a spell requires a verbal component, you may ignore the verbal component by using a spell slot of one level higher. You do not gain the benefits of the additional upcast.
• If a spell requires a verbal component, you may ignore the verbal component by using an additional spell slot of first level or higher. You do not gain any additional benefits for the additional spell slot.
