Wild Arcana and Quicken metamagic


Rules Questions


So I understand that they changed the action time for Wild Arcana to be a standard action but you can also apply a metamagic feat you know to the spell as long as it doesn't push the spell level beyond what you can cast.

So my question is this, can the quicken metamagic feat be applied to the spell when cast this way to make it a swift action?

As a standard action, you can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one arcane spell without expending a prepared spell or spell slot. The spell must be on one of your arcane class spell lists, must be of a level that you can cast with that arcane spellcasting class, and must have a casting time of "1 standard action" (or less). You don’t need to have the spell prepared, nor does it need to be on your list of spells known. When casting a spell in this way, you treat your caster level as 2 levels higher for the purpose of any effect dependent on level. You can apply any metamagic feats you know to this spell, but its total adjusted level can’t be greater than that of the highest-level arcane spell you can cast from that spellcasting class.

'As a standard action' doesn't seem to reference the usual spell casting time at all. Whether it's naturally a 10 minute casting time or a swift action, you spend mythic power as a standard action and you cast the spell. Quicken spell therefore doesn't look like it'd reduce the action.
