Is this a minor action or a major action? Like drinking a health potion.
It’s a major action, as using any extraordinary item is essentially the same as invoking the equivalent boon or applying the equivalent bane. That doesn’t change for consumable or expandable items.

The action time of a consumable is the same as invoking the listed thing itself.
Heal, Restoration and many other Boons are Major Actions as well.
Light would be a Minor Action as listed, and Transmutation would be 1 minute.
If applicable, damaging attack and defend actions would be a Major Action and the usual defend action rules respectively.
Though according to @VanGo all consumables are Major Actions???
That would mean Light would require a Major instead of a Minor action, and I can immediately make a sword or something as a Major Action with Genesis.
No, you are right, it’s whatever the original invocation time is, as I even wrote out. In a majority of cases, that’s a major action, especially if you are in a combat situation, as outside of combat that question ain’t often that relevant anyway.

And, of course, unless the item itself specifies a different Action type to use it. Though usually this will cause a change in the price of the item and/or rarity.
