Spells cast from a rune weapon

[wakiza]

Do spells at any level cast from a rune weapon only take one action? Or are they limited like spell casters? I thought i remembered reading somewhere that it only took one action, but I don't remember where.

"Do spells at any level cast from a rune weapon only take one action?" There is no APM cost mentioned far as I know. I would impose only a 1 APM cost for commanding the Rune item to cast it's magic and for that magic to 'happen'.
"Or are they limited like spell casters?" I do not believe so.

IMHO - it's just one melee action for the rune weapon to cast the spell. The greater rune weapons have level 6 spells max. and the greatest have up to level 10 - 12 spells. For the later (like dimensional warping powers) the GM can call for a longer casting time (2 melee actions or what ever the spell demands ).
