Blinding quality activation

[CFet]

Hi, what action is it to command something with the blinding quality to, well, blind? The wording says "command". As far as I know, command is not a key word.

Blinding

I believe its a Standard action to activate nearly any item.

I know I've seen it argued between free and standard though.

Please click FAQ if it isn't spelled out in some RAW definition.

Default command word activation magic items require a standard action.

This is noted in the magic items section.

Where? Where does it spell out using the "command" action is a standard action for special armor qualities? Sorry blackbloodtroll, I can see the argument but I don't see it by RAW.

Many magic items don't need to be activated. Certain magic items, however, do need to be activated, especially potions, scrolls, wands, rods, and staves. Unless otherwise noted, activating a magic item is a standard action.
