Considering that there are no core or official builder/Complete book spells with a listed casting time of one full round action (other than those that say "1 round") and that the Quicken Spell feat explicitly excludeds the only other spells that could, through game mechanics gain a casting time of one full round action--namely spontaneously cast metamagic spells with a casting time of one action--it seems that the only possible interpretations of the Quicken Spell wording is either that the authors didn't give serious thought to what they were writing (thus unintentionally including 1-round spells along with the intended but non-existent full-round-action spells) or that they intended spells with a one round casting time to be included but worded it in a confusing manner.So the long and the short of it is: 1 round casting time spells like Summon Monster and Enlarge Person take a full round action to cast and can be quickened. Either that or we're reduced to guessing the intentions of the writers which opens up a whole can of worms about any spell or feat description that seems to be worded in a confusing manner.</blockquote>
