The verbal component was a basic part of spellcasting.[1]
Most spells required the caster to complete a spoken incantation in a clear, powerful voice. Being gagged or magically silenced prevent one from casting such a spell.[1] The spoken words of arcane spells somehow affected the Weave directly, while those spoken by divine magic casters were expressions of faith in their deities.[2]
