The wraithstrike version needs more, but it can be pared down to rather few free actions.Wraithstrike0-1. Activate contingency. Depending upon how clever you are with your contingency, this need not take an action separate from any other. You could, for instance trigger it to activate when you cast an extended wraithstrike instead of when you say "Oh crap!" in celestial. (Heck, you could set it to activate when your familiar says something specific).0-2. Quickdraw a lesser rod of extend spell. This is really only for style and setup for next round when the first round's extended wraithstrike would enable you to get both a quickened whirling blade and a regular whirling blade as touch attacks.1-3. Cast wraithstrike1-4. Drop the rod (unnecessary if you don't extend the spell)1-5. Quickdraw primary weapon (unecessary if you don't extend the wraithstrike)2-6. Activate Arcane Strike3-7. Activate boots of speed3-7. Power Attack for full4-8. Make full attack.If you pare it down, you only really need four total actions (including the full attack) for it--certainly no more than a battle cleric who casts a quickened divine favor (1), activates Divine Might (2), Activates boots of Speed (3), full attacks (4). And I don't think there are many DMs who think that's too many actions to pull off. Quickdraw and the other stuff are all for style points.Without wraithstrike, it's even simpler and only requires two free actions: the boots of speed and Arcane Strike.</blockquote>
