So I will preface the context as to why I am trying to create this Item so it may help guide behind the intent and purpose of this magical Item. My character is battlemaster fighter and is surrounded by casters and magical being, from his own personal backstory and another bbeg in campaign. They have royally screwed my character over his life e.g fey enslaved his family and a bbeg has power word killed me(as level 1) and other close encounter with him. So I decided to become anti-mage or magekiller to counteract this bbeg and my own from my backstory.
Now the Magic item: i wanted to create an item that emanate Silence spell around me to prevent casters from using verbal component casting and able to get in and close to them.
This is the DM suggestion so far:
Uncommon Item Casting Time: 1 action Duration: 1 minute Range: self AoE: Emanate 5 feet, but not on himself Concentration: None Recharge every dawn
As a note the reason the DM suggested not able to be silent myself is to avoid stealthing around or out of combat(heavy armour fighter).
So I feel like this maybe on a weaker side especially for an uncommon Magic Item. Like to get a feedback to see if this can be tuned to be better. My inital thoughts is to increase the AoE, so a caster dont simply step away and cast so easily. Thoughts?
I noted existing homebrew item of Amulet of Silence but personally thought it was overpowered but love to be told wrong otherwise.
It's important to not that even if the item doesn't make your sounds silent, per the wording of Silence, any sound that passes through the area is muted.

Tbh It doesn't feel very useful. An easy way to do It is just make the collar use silence spell on Yourself and spend X charges of the collar.
If you want more you can make the item have an aura that gives disadvantage on Magic attack rolls or Concentration checks.
Also being Silenced doesn't make any effect on your Stealth checks.
