If it has a verbal component then they can't cast it while silenced.For example, a drow's racial darkness spell requires their concentration.Having racial magic not require material components seems to me to be a reasonable house rule (I don't have my book so I can't check if any racial magic actually requires M component).Having racial magic not require verbal components seems a bit overpowered to me. It seems reasonable that something you've been doing since birth/puberty/whatever should not have many requirements, but most players will assume "silence shuts down magic" and will be upset when it doesn't/On the other hand, as a GM I would without hesitation change the rules for strange races. For example, in a campaign where the Underdark is unknown and scary it would be dramatic if drow and dvergar and svirfneblin have different rules for their innate magic.Depends on the wand - some will, some won't. When I hand out magic items, I always note on the item what components (V and/or S) it requires.</blockquote>
