Also isn't this literally what happened in Razmiran?
I don't think so. Both Razmiran and Baba Yaga took a more direct approach to power by slaughtering anyone who opposed them. Then again both of them were more interested in being the one on the throne than the power behind it. I don't think any of Golarions mages have canonically gone that route or if they have its not been recorded. Though I suppose you could say their opponents were lacking the magic to counter them.

In regards to verbal spells and percieving them:
SPELL COMPONENTS wrote:Verbal (V): A verbal component is a spoken incantation. To provide a verbal component, you must be able to speak in a strong voice. A silence spell or a gag spoils the incantation (and thus the spell). A spellcaster who has been deafened has a 20% chance of spoiling any spell with a verbal component that he tries to cast.So the general rule is that you must be able to "speak in a strong voice". Being hit by a QUIETING WEAPON gives you specific permission to get around this requirement while under the effects of this spell, but doesn't change the general rule.
Quieting weapons shouldn't be interpreted as AIDING spell casters by now allowing them to cast with a whisper. My point was that you can always cast a spell with a whisper. Hence the word BECAUSE in the spell's text. It is a reminder that as long as you can whisper you can still cast a spell. Why else do you think the designer's did not use the word LOUD and instead chose the words STRONG and FIRM. Strong and firm does not mean loud.
