I think this spell is a little more powerful than Haste in that respect. It provides four attacks, each doing 2d6 damage. Compared to Haste which would probably be cast on someone with two attacks, that's more powerful, but this spell requires the caster to be the one in melee (albeit with reach and using their spellcasting stat).Other: This includes a slightly weakened version of Shield (+5 to AC) instead of the other benefits from HasteOverall, I would call it as a bit more powerful than Haste, which is already a top 3rd level spell. It may be better as a 4th level spell, rather than 3rd. Alternatively, having a material cost for each cast (such as the 50gp obsidian gem suggested above) would also help balance it out.As for the question of why adding a verbal component, I would turn that around and ask why it shouldn't? Spells with no verbal component are relatively rare and have the advantage of being able to cast when silenced. What's so special about this spell that it should have that capability?</blockquote>
