I don't think the manga would deviate from the light novel so much as to give Shiroe a whole set of other skills that he used during the fight. Of course, it's not impossible - he could have used Cast on Beat from the menu rather than from a vocal command, and I don't think the manga always has the characters saying their skills like they do in the anime and LN just because of panel flow and all that.

I still think, though, that Hara just didn't depict one of the two castings explicitly.

Also, I don't know if skills can be stacked. I know that effects cannot, so two identical buffs on the same person won't have double the effect, but I don't know if Thorn Bind has the same restriction.
