Why? The character
can't talk - the effect on spellcasting is only part of it (and even then high enough skill eliminates it). Would you tell a Dance Mage that they can't get -30 points back from Mute because they can still cast spells?
Never mind that a Dance Mage isn't just a
gesture mage - they need to be standing with their legs free and on a good enough surface to dance on. It's like a sub-skill-12 mage without the time penalty and the added shouting.
