Incantations?

Example:
[Isaac is fighting Saturos]
Isaac: Eathquake!!
Saturos: Arrgh!
And so on...
Other people might do it like this as if Psynergy is non-verbal:
Isaac: *casts Earthquake*
Saturos: Arrgh!
Personally, I don't think Psynergy is verbal. Sure, when you use Psynergy on the overworld, the name of the Psy is displayed but that doesn't necessarily mean the character said the word (if Isaac/Felix did, wouldn't their portrait be displayed?) . I think the game stressed pretty hard that Psy is used mostly with the mind, and that an incatation wouldn't need to be uttered. I don't know much about the mythology behind magic (I'm not that sort of nerd) and why people need to use incantations in most cases. But anyway, what do you think?

The exclamation marks and the dots make it seem verbal.

I think some people think it Verbal because they relate it to magic spells, e.g in Harry Potter, because they have similar effects, making vines grow etc. When actually, it isn't magic at all, but Psychic powers like Telepathy, or bending spoons.
When you see psychics bending spoons on TV etc, they don't usually shout "Spoon bend!"
