Maybe I'm reading it wrong, or I missed something, but unless I'm mistaken the Cataclysm of Flesh of the Cataclysm mage allows you to severely incapacitate your opponents at will :
[sblock=Cataclysm of Flesh (Sp)]
The amorphous wretch can still attack with natural weapons, but it does so at a –4 penalty on attack rolls and with a 50% miss chance because its eyes have transmuted into spongy yolks. The victim regains its normal form when the effect ends.

At 3rd level, you complete your study of the daelkyr-Dhakaani confl ct, gaining the ability to tear a hole in the fabric of the planes and let the madness of Xoriat corrupt all it touches.
This ability has a range of 25 feet + 5 feet per class level, and a duration of 1 round per class level. All creatures within a 20-foot radius of the affect’s center must succeed on a Refl ex save (DC 14 + your Int modifier) or be touched by the lemon rains and mindless star-worms of the Realm of Madness, forced to endure as their own fl esh melts away and rains upward to patter on the ceiling as they deliquesce.
An affected creature cannot hold or use any item (including clothing, armor, magic items, and so on).
It can ooze forward with gelatinous pseudopods at a speed of 10 feet. If it normally has movement modes other than land speed, those modes are reduced by 30 feet (with a speed of 0 or less meaning that the creature has lost that movement mode until it regains its normal form).
Pain also wracks the stressed nerves of the victim. To cast a spell or use a spell-like ability while in this oozelike form, a creature must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 25 + spell level) or have the spell or spell-like ability wasted. (In addition, because of its inability to hold objects, an affected creature cannot cast spells that require material components.)

It's a spell-like ability, so presumably using this ability is a standard action.
It mentions the effect is has, the duration, and what happens to those affected in detail.
What it does NOT mention is how often you can use this ability.
Is there ANY rule someone knows of that limits this to less than at will, once per round?
