TOPIC: Mystic Staves, Taunt, and Magical Silence

All Mystical Staff entries in the TDb now contain this sentence:
Unlike wands, mystic staves do not require a command word to function and may be used in areas of magical silence.
Because a mystical staff is a kind of evolution of a wand and wands most definitely DO require a command word, we felt their descriptions warranted this clarification.

Taunt, however, does have an audible component and cannot be used in areas of magical silence.

Clarification is always appreciated!

FWIW, I personally feel like this sentence would be better if it did not include the phrase "Unlike wands".

While they may represent an evolution from the vantage point of year-over-year token design, from a functional standpoint wands and mystic staves have essentially nothing in common (starting with the fact that wands are not weapons and don't go into sliders), and so IMHO the most likely result of including those two words is to offer readers an extra opportunity to mistakenly infer other functional similarities between wands and mystic staves.

there are lots of taunts that do not require sound.
