No. Casting a spell is not the attack action. Actions that spells give you are (generally) not the attack action. Manifest Echo only allows you to attack using the attack action through the echo. No other attacks or spells count. So *even* if you have some way to make a weapon attack other than the attack action, you could not do it through the echo.

You could, however, use a zephyr strike attack from the echo's spot, since that can be triggered on a normal Attack. shadow blade would also work, but not flame blade (since it uses a separate action, not the normal Attack action)

i.e. no booming blade from the echo
