quickness doesn't effect spellcasting.

With magic items it counts as a standard action.

Said that I already knew that, I'm wondering now if it works even with the helm which lightnings ppl or if it's considered an action independent from the wearer (as the description seems to suggest)

The Spirit Helm is an autocaster, so it's not affected. Quickness is very nice with the the wand and staff-like items (or a Flambeau, say) -- a heroically fast commander with a Phoenix Rod is essentially a skilled gunfighter.

Yeh, you can do some impressive damage with four guys with Boots of Quickness and Phoenix Rods.

Since we are on the subject, Water Bless gives you an extra item spell every other round.

I didn't know! So there are uses for weak, non-magic-wielding human commanders after all!
