Summary: 1hWeapon+spell breaks Smart Casting
Details: Any spell you cast through Smart Cast will not use resources while dual wielding 1H+spell in offhand (they don't drain magicka). This is true for rings,combo spells or autocasting. If the spell you have equiped in your offhand is a combo spell generated by Smart Casting you can't block either but that's not such a big deal.
I also might know how to fix it but I have zero experience modding so apologies in advance if this is going to be long. What I mean is basically I did some research in discords from other modlists after someone mentioned this might be caused by engarde and it's blocking functionality. The fix: use synthesis to disable engarde's block functionality then replace all of that with (SJG) Dual Wield Parrying Reimplementation for SSE (Works for Spell Blades as well). I wanted to try this myself but like I said, zero experience. I'll gladly test it if you can send me some how to steps on discord if you don't have time or don't want to since it would change how the combat system works.
Steps to reproduce: Step 1: equip 1h weapon in your right hand. Step 2: equip any spell in your left hand. Step 3: set any spell on autocast through Smart Cast. Step 4: trigger the autocast.
