I'm under the impression that we only recently escaped captivity... unless we're playing it like we've been together a while after escaping and have acquired some fresh equipment since being stripped and strapped.Also, I don't think destruction magic 'can' be 'silent'

That's what I figured, but I wasn't sure if we were gonna say like... We quickly grabbed out stuff back from our captors or something, haha. 

As for the silent magic, it's in TES V: Skyrim, under Illusion magic, "Cast Silent Spells." And it goes for Destruction as well, I've missed quite a few shots without getting noticed. 

I'll pm him it, sorry. Last time I was here, PMing people CS's never/rarely happened. Just something new to get used to I suppose.
