Just double checking. A duskblade for example uses Quick-casting to cast a spell as a swift action, can they still use a move-equivalent action to perform another Swift-action even though there is a 1 swift action limit per Round, say to activate an item.
Ive got a Duskblade activating an item as a Swift-action, Quick-casting a spell (as a swift-action) and using their Standard action to cast yet another spell. Is that rght?

From what I understand, you cannot use a move action to act as a swift action. This is discussed a bit on the Giant In the Playground forums, with people weighing in on both sides:

Even beyond a technical RAW standpoint, how is a player going to say all of the words for three spells/items in one round. The only way I would ever allow it was if it was a spell with no verbal component. |

Old but good articles that cover this:
Actions (Part One)
Actions (Part Two) (covers swift actions)
Actions (Part Three)
Actions (Part Four)
All these rules pretty much hold true for Pathfinder as well. |
