While the rules don't seem to allow it, I really don't think it'd be horrifically broken to allow someone to spend their standard action to gain a second swift action.
This has been discussed at length before.blargney the second said:While the rules don't seem to allow it, I really don't think it'd be horrifically broken to allow someone to spend their standard action to gain a second swift action.
Herzog said:The Core rules specify that, during a round, you can make a move action and a standard action, or two move actions, effectively replacing the standard action with an action taking less time.(ignoring free actions, immediate actions and swift actions for a moment.)
To my knowledge, there is no rule prohibiting you from replacing an action with an action that takes less time. (for instance, taking a full round for only a single attack.....)
Now, these rules where written before the introduction of swift and immediate actions.
The description of a swift action is that it is equivalent to a 'free' action, but that you can only take one such an action per round. If you take an immediate action, that action is considered your swift action for that round.
However, after taking a swift action, I still have a move and a standard action left.
Unless someone can point me to a rule strictly prohibitting replacing actions with actions that take less time, I think you could cast up to three swift spells per round....... Assuming you perform no other actions.

Neither do I.I do not have that book with me at the moment to double check it.
