Silence inflicts the temporary Status Ailment Mute on your targets. Unfortunately, as a temporary ailment, Mute has a chance of wearing off at the end of any round. There is another Spell, Fog, which inflicts the permanent version of Mute (Amnesia), though it's slightly less accurate and you won't find it until Fynn is freed later in the game. Choose which of the two Spells you want, because you won't need both. Note that you will run into Spellcasters long before Fog becomes available, another point in Silence's favor.

MUTE is rarely useful, but when it is, it can turn the tide of battle dramatically. Few Monsters cast Spells, and even fewer cast Spells you need to prevent. To make matters worse, many of those have high Magic Defense or resist Status. For the rest, MUTE will cripple their attacks if it hits. Best of all, Silenced creatures will still waste turns trying to cast Spells.
Silence is a very situational Spell. Not that many Monsters cast Spells, and a lot of those that do cast Spells you don't need to worry about. There are a few exceptions, but many of those have high Magic Defense or resistance to Status. Still, there is little more amusing than hitting Marilith with Slow1 and Silence and watching her swing ineffectively once per round.
