Note that maneuvers are listed with a range or effect of melee attack. But their Initiation Action is typically listed as a standard action.
Chapter 3: Blade Magic. Page 42, (Type) Strike. "Strikes almost always require a standard or full-round action to complete. Most of them involve a melee attack as part of completing the maneuver."
In the next paragraph..."You are not taking a full attack action when you initiate a strike, even if its initiation action is 1 full round action."
On page 38 the Initiating Maneuvers And Stances section similarly describes how they function.
Other places refer to maneuvers using either a full-round action, standard action, move action, swift action, or immediate action. Maneuvers are not initiated with attack or full-attack actions.

Stone Power does not work with other kinds of Strike.
