On a similar note, can a character use Arcane Strike while under the same effects of the same spell?

Thanks!

It's actually a tough question. I was inclined to say "of course" at first, but the spell description states that you lose your spellcasting ability. As a judge, I would rule that if you are no longer capable of casting spells, then you cannot use any of the spells you had prepared for any purpose, whether it be literally casting them, or channeling them through a weapon or even using Arcane Strike.
