This still is vague..
I get if a Prep time is "2 Rounds" and understand if actual enacting the rite is listed as Rounds/minutes etc. However many of the rites list enacting as "1 Round".
Example Eldritch Blast
"Time 2 Rounds/1 Round"
So the mage would spend 2 rounds completing a Magical Complex action, then on the third round would he need a magical complex action? Magical Quick? Magical Trivial?
Reference to Magical actions on page 188 indicates that this actions are "Represented" However this is not the case all rites are represented as Rounds/minutes/hours/days.
I'm not really sure I understand what you are getting at here.
Yes, the initial wording was vague. The edited/errata-ed version is much less so. If any preparation time listed in turns (rounds would be more clear, I'll admit) is a Quick Magical action, then the answer to the last part of your question is Quick, unless otherwise specified in the text of the spell. Right?
I'm not arguing against a need for clarity — by all means, be clear — but I'm not seeing how the edited text is still that vague.
