Logically (I'm not sure about according to the rules), you could quicken
some spell that affects inanimate objects to such an object (although I
can't think of a reason you'd really want to do this). This means
that the spell would have to be connected to the actual object (since it
doesn't have an aura). To me, the quickening creates a circuit between the
actual object (usually person) and astral space, not the aura of the object
(hence grounding through a quickening is entirely possible).
