What are some GURPS rules you didn't know or understand for a long time?

Until last night, I always thought that magical silence would prevent spellcasting unless you had a spell at skill 20+. For some reason, I read it as "You must speak a word or two and make a small gesture" when it is really "or." I guess I've rarely played magical characters with skills less than 15 so I was mixing up the categories.

(It was helpful for my cleric to be able to cast some spells in a magically silenced elven glade in last night's DFRPG session.)
