A magic sword is a magic item, and if you use it with the 'use an action' action then you couldn't get other attacks because an off-hand attack or additional attacks require the attack action. Silly isn't it?The same logic applies to items that simply permit the user to cast a spell. Thus using the item in this manner takes the cast a spell action. The item may have other uses that do not require such an action.Not all wands require the cast a spell action to operate. You could shoot a charge from a wand of paralysis, for example, and still cast a bonus action spell since operating the wand didn't require you to cast a spell.</blockquote>
