1) Does earclap makes magi unable to cast all their spells?

2) Does earclap prevent a conjie to order a familiar to attack me or do I have to sleep and gag him?

3) Is there a side effect when a weapon butt blackjack miss? (I red it's unreliable... does being bigger size help?)


4) If you had to play a caballed thief and go full thug, why would you:

a) Learn the general skill blackjack and complete with pickpocket up to discerning gaze? (wich allows you to better prepare your strike as you can look, without being noticed, how hurted the person is and what's in their inventory) ?

b) Make the best you can of weaponbutt blackjack and go for binder skills up to to garotte and gag? (I have the feeling this would be more versatile _vs melee and conjie_ when solo.)

Any suggestions/experience would be most welcomed. Thank you.
