The gist of it is that if you get hit by something that says you can't use "Game Abilities" (lots of stuff falls into this category, basically, most of the 'disabling' effects in the book), you can't use spells or skills (excepting Read and Write and Wear Extra Armor). If you're NPCing, anything you have that activates automatically (like a 'Nausea Shield 1x/ever') would still go off, but most everything else can't be used.
You can still activate Magic Items so long as you can speak in-game. You can still use "Magic" or "Arcane" qualifier abilities so long as you could activate a Magic Item, except you can be Silenced in addition to the usual restrictions on Magic Item usage. Yes, this applies to High Magic too. If you have a High Magic Dispel, for example, you could use it if you were affected by a Nausea or a Confine or a Silence, but not a Paralysis or Prison.
