Pathfinder Familiar Magic Item Slots

One of my players is thinking about selecting a raven as a familiar. Assuming he does, and the raven can speak Common, can he give it a command word activated magic item to use? If so, how is this handled in combat? Does the familiar get its own turn and actions, or does it act as part of the PC's turn or actions?
I'd assume it would get its own turn and actions, and that if it can reproduce the sounds of the command word it can speak it (a lot like a druid's animal companion?). The player is fine with whatever the answer is, but I wasn't sure, and didn't see anything about it under 'Familiars'?

Abilities

For example, a wizard with evocation as an opposition school must expend two of his available 3rd-level spell slots to prepare a fireball. In addition, a specialist takes a –4 penalty on any skill checks made when crafting a magic item that has a spell from one of his opposition schools as a prerequisite. To unlock a magic item slot, a familiar must take the Extra Item Slot feat, which appears in Pathfinder Player Companion: Animal Archive and will be reprinted in the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide as of version 9.0. In the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild, familiars of all body shapes may take this feat, including humanoid. The Pathfinder rules only explicitly state the slots available for humanoid creatures. However, there are two possible leads on an answer - this Paizo thread quotes an old 3.5 'Rules of the Game' article allows up to 12 slots, but the ruling in Living Greyhawk games was only slotless, animal specific, barding, and amulet (collar). If this reduces the number of slots for a level to 0, they can only cast spells of that level using spirit magic or bonus slots granted by a relevant ability score.

Simply put, many of the rules for animal companions and familiars were written in forum posts. They are sometimes contradictory. The lists, both of what item slots were available and what familiars could activate magic items using Use Magic Device, were static lists that were not updated to account for new options.

Step One: Ability Scores

Your character has six ability scores that represent his or her most basic attributes. They are his or her raw talent and prowess. While your character will rarely roll a check using just an ability score, these scores, and the modifiers they create, affect nearly every aspect of your character's skills and abilities.

You receive a number of points to spend on increasing your character's basic attributes. All attributes start at a base of 10. You can increase an individual score by spending some of your points. Likewise, you can gain more points to spend on other scores by decreasing one or more of your character's ability scores. No score can be reduced below 7 or raised above 18 using this method.

Campain Type:

The campaign type determines the number of points you can spend on your ability scores. Check with your game master to see what campaign type he or she is using. A standard campaign lets you spend 15 points.

Strength

Strength measures muscle and physical power. This ability is important for those who engage in hand-to-hand combat, such as fighters. Strength also sets the maximum amount of weight your character can carry.

You apply your character's Strength modifier to:

Melee attack rolls

Damage rolls when using a melee or thrown weapon

Climb, Swim, and Strength checks

Strength checks (for breaking down doors and the like)

Dexterity

Dexterity measures agility, reflexes, and balance. This ability is the most important one for rogues, but it's also useful for characters who wear light or medium armor or no armor at all. This ability is vital for characters seeking to excel with ranged weapons.

You apply your character's Dexterity modifier to:

Ranged attack rolls

Armor Class (AC), provided your character can react to the attack

Reflex saving throws

Acrobatics, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth checks

Constitution

Constitution represents your character's health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character's hit points, so the ability is important for all classes.

Intelligence

Intelligence determines how well your character learns and reasons. This ability is important for wizards because it affects their spellcasting ability in many ways.

You apply your character's Intelligence modifier to:

The number of bonus languages your character knows at the start of the game

The number of skill points gained each level

Appraise, Craft, Knowledge, Linguistics, and Spellcraft checks

Wisdom

Wisdom describes a character's willpower, common sense, awareness, and intuition. Wisdom is the most important ability for clerics. If you want your character to have acute senses, put a high score in Wisdom.

You apply your character's Wisdom modifier to:

Will saving throws (for negating the effects of compulsions, charms, and other spells)

Heal, Perception, Profession, Sense Motive, and Survival checks

Charisma

Charisma measures a character's personality, personal magnetism, ability to lead, and appearance. It is important for clerics, since it affects their ability to channel energy.

You apply your character's Charisma modifier to:

Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perform, and Use Magic Device checks.

Checks that represent attempts to influence others.

Channel energy DCs for clerics attempting to harm undead foes.

Step Two: Race

In fantasy roleplaying games, race is fundamental. It both provides a starting point for character creation and sets the tone for a character as it progresses. Race mixes biology and culture, then translates those concepts into racial traits. A race's traits, its history, its relations with other races, and the culture that all of these things imply—all of these frame your character. This is true whether you play to or against the stereotypes. To some players, choosing a race is simply a matter of finding which racial modifiers best fit a character's class. Yet there's so much more to race than that. By exploring the cultures and traditions of a character's race, we can better understand where she comes from and what makes her tick, thus immersing ourselves that much deeper in the campaign world.

Wizard

These shrewd magic-users seek, collect, and covet esoteric knowledge, drawing on cultic arts to work wonders beyond the abilities of mere mortals. While some might choose a particular field of magical study and become masters of such powers, others embrace versatility, reveling in the unbounded wonders of all magic. In either case, wizards prove a cunning and potent lot, capable of smiting their foes, empowering their allies, and shaping the world to their every desire.

Trap Finding

+1 to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks. A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.

Deity

A cleric's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her. A cleric chooses two domains from among those belonging to her deity.

Shelyn
Godess of Beauty and Art

Desna
Godess of Dreams and Travels

Domains

Select two of the domains belonging to your deity. Each domain grants a domain power, as well as a bonus spell. A cleric gains one domain spell slot. Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from her two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in her domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.

Chaos Domain

Arcane Bond

Wizards form a powerful bond with an object or a creature. This bond can take one of two forms: a familiar or a bonded object. A familiar is a magical pet that enhances the wizard's skills and senses and can aid him in magic, while a bonded object is an item a wizard can use to cast additional spells or to serve as a magical item.
