Unchained Monk Question

[choyer7]

Im building a high level monk at the moment for my PC's to battle and noticed the Elemental Burst lvl 18 ki power. It looks like it might be a free action to activate since I see no action listed in the ability or the Ki pool class feature.
Can anyone confirm this for me?

Remember that supernatural abilities default to requiring a standard action if not specified otherwise, as per the Magic chapter of the Core Rulebook. ^_^

Ty. Found the relevant paragraph. I thought I was missing something. It turns out the powers that stated their actions were the exception, not the rule.

Cold Ice Strike (from the Quinggong powers list) only requires a swift action to use. It provides a similar effect with a much better action economy.
