Wave of Mutilation (From Rite Publishing's Secrets of the Magus

[Damian Vryce Kil'Cannon]

One of my players is playing a Magus and picked up this magus arcana from a third publishing party book.

We were wondering how this ruling would work. Does this attack take a standard action or can it be part of a full attack action? He wanted to do this as his first attack and still do his additional attacks. I ruled since it doesn't say in the text that it is considered a standard and can't be done in a full attack, but not sure.

Second he wanted to use Vital Strike with the power which I ruled he can't, but wasn't sure?

Can I use Vital Strike with this?
Since it's only Swift action to active, and used on a single attack, can I use my other attacks as normal?

I would post this question under the actual item in its discussion. You're more likely to get an answer from the author there.

As to how it works, I have no freaking clue. I'd probably end up re-writing the ability as a standard action personally.
