Quote from "'Using items" 3.5 DMG :
Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item description indicates otherwise. However, the casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item, regardless of the type of magic item, unless the item description specifically states otherwise.
Then quote from "Spell Completion", same chapter :
This is the activation method for scrolls. A scroll is a spell that is mostly finished. […] Activating a spell completion item is a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunity exactly as casting a spell does.
Since spell completion specifically states a standart action as activation time, does that mean that a using scroll of "restoration", for instance, takes a single standart action ?
Or does the general activation rule apply (i.e. 3 rounds for "restoration") ?
Thanks to anybody with a clue on this matter.
