During each of your opponent's Standby Phases: Place 1 Clock Counter on this card. While there are 4 or more Clock Counters on this card, you do not take any Battle Damage. When this card with 4 or more Clock Counters is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" from your hand or Deck.
The reason lvl8 silent magician cant deal dmg when ct is out is because it doesnt effect or target your magician. Silent magician itself isnt affected by it. It affects the user of the card. Anything that doesnt target your magician still works.
Now id have to say you need to read your card that way you understand it.
