Using hand of the Mage??

[The Sneak]

Hand of the Mage: This mummified elf hand hangs by a golden chain around a character’s neck (taking up space as a magic necklace would). It allows the wearer to utilize the spell mage hand at will.

Faint transmutation; CL 2nd; Craft Wondrous Item, mage hand; Price 900 gp;Weight 2 lb.

How long does it take for me to use this? Is it just that I move things 15 feet as a move action, or do I first need to use a standard action to activate it?

Hi, technically the item is a SRD item, not a BR-specific item, since it lets you cast mage hand I'd use the spell description which states the casting time as a standard action.

Sorry for posting in the wrong place. None the less, thank you.

No problem, it's on our site so it's fair game!

Unless specified otherwise activating a magic item is a standard action per the RAW (Rules As Written).
