Why it doesn't work like this is my bigger question.

Silence IS supposed to be the major counter to magic, why would a sword ignore Silence at a 24% chance?

Please make it so Silence stops this madness. Evoker/Mage does influence on Tarnada's Vydel damage. (So that means, things like Charge Mind [for the 2.5x damage multiplier], Tavyl [for the Knockdown] and Greaper [for +30% damage] will make it technically a free, un-silenceable Vydel that uses 3M and can be spammed if you are lucky.)
