Question about how Silence works Options

[Grits]

When your character is silenced, do magical effects that were cast by the character before they were silenced still work? For example, a shield spell?

Also, would an enchanted weapon still work, specifically one that absorbs magicka? I haven’t been able to arrange this scenario to find out.

Yeah, even I admit that Bretons are way overpowered as a playing race. Though I wonder, whether the immunity to silence was intended, and whether it was intended as a discrepancy with the other races. The high magic resilience and ease of increasing that makes me think that Bethesda may not have intended it, thinking that it was up to the player to get to a point where silence spells weren't problematic.
