Magic item use

[Ommamar]

Should silence stop the use of magical items? The only thing I have seen that still works is an on-strike weapon, anything that has a distance or self cast will not work if silenced. In a way it makes sense as you are using the item to store latent magical energy that you would release the most common trope of course being a key or trigger word. So if you couldn't speak you couldn't say the word, I am not even sure if this is the intent of the design but it is what is occurring.
