Shining Blades works in the game the way spells do, but you are summoning a warrior from another realm to attack on your behalf, then go back where he came from. Even the lore of this is not a "spell". Shining Blades may work like a spell as far as the game engine goes, but you should not think of it as a spell. It cannot even be multi"cast"ed. One more exclamation in the "this isn't a spell" story.
The other 2 "spells" fit into the same category. The use summoning skill, game engine treats them in the same way as spells. Lore wise they are not spells. I summoned a big crushing Ice Hammer. It's a physical item landing on my target. I agree the line here is blurry...
And if the player wants spells.., there is a large amount of magey spells they can obtain if they work for them.
I don't see the need for the class to have it's own spells. Don't think of summoning skill as "spell"-skill.
A few more abilities that "work like spells" I do think would be ok... Maybe my first reaction to more spells was seeing some above suggestions differently than they were intended. Although I still think a bolt is entirely not needed. No other melee class get's it's own bolt.
