How do you know these do not involve a verbal component? A character doesn't really say anything using any abilities so that's left to imagination.

And yes, backlash is also magic in my book, but since it's a weapon skill it ends up being not affected by silence. You can say that it doesn't involve a verbal component while the skills above do (we don't know anyway) if it makes it easier for your suspension of disbelief.
