my google-fu is failing me. Can you use a swift action in the middle of a full attack sequence?

I do not remember permission to do a swift action during another action. A free action(drawing an arrow) is allowed, but swift is probably not allowed.

It's controversial. I tend to hold that swift actions can be taken any time you can take a free action, and you can take a free action at any point during a full attack. But both of these are debated on occasion.

Swift actions can be used at any time that a character could take a free action (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#swiftActions) (provided that the character hasn't already used her swift action for the turn, of course).

Well Karnith just solved that controversy.

Thanks that just Upped the power level of my character at least 5 fold.

Swift action wand + Wand chamber....maybe?

I don't know what swift action spell would equate to a five fold power increase though, so it's probably something else.

if you have the Chain Spell feat (or the metamagic rod for it), and a way to bundle your wands...
you can perform the "21 wand salute" with the spell found here
