There’s something which I find unclear in DCSS, and even the unofficial wiki doesn’t help much: Which god-given abilities are usable while silenced or confused? For a start, I think the two passive martial art tricks by Wu Jian work, but it has a third trick that requires activation, and I’m also not sure about Gozag’s Potion Petition (curing to cure confusion?), for example.
I know for sure that Elyvilon’s Purification and Ru’s Draw Out Power work while confused, though. To be fair, that’s also clearly written in the ability descriptions. Not sure about when silenced, though.
EDIT: I’m more interested in activable abilities, that the character has to “call out” to its god to activate, rather than passive abilities that I naturally tend to think they work regardless of silence and confusion.
