If the Apple Pencil 2 is removed when Magic Keyboard is attached, the Pencil would not function no matter it was shown charging or connected on screen. I would have to put the Pencil back to its charging position, remove the Magic Keyboard, take out the Pencil again for the Pencil to function. The Pencil remains in function as long as it is not put back to charge, even if you attach it back to the Magic Keyboard. But if it is with the Keyboard and once you put the Pencil back to charge, you would have to perform the above again to use the Pencil. No help on soft reset or shutting down, connecting another Pencil or charging with another iPad.
