Quoting from the Spells Reference site:
Quote:
Silence
Most of the lower level enemy Mages are scripted to cast Vocalize with ForceSpell() (not disruptable) and without checking HaveSpell(). Silencing them will do no more than occupy them for a round. Most of the high level Mages (including Liches) are more vulnerable to silence, and priests cannot even Vocalize. Being silenced disrupts spellcasting.

It was Conster's script who cheesily casted Vocalize. It's not really a contingency -- because you can only have one contingency active at a time, yet many enemy Mages just "pull out" the most convenient one to them, be it Stoneskin or Vocalize.
This is exactly why Blindness or Fear spells work better. Both of these are "script breaking" effects, which will prevent the creature from using these cheesy "contingencies".
