(apologies for mixing in a bit of Tolkien lore)
Elves have mastered the art of ring crafting over the centuries, a great achievement of elven ring lore in centuries past was the Shatter Ring, rings that could be used as wands. In the wake of the Spellplague the few of these rings that remained were discovered to have changed, becoming foci for wizards.
Only a few of these rings have been recovered, but many have found a way to recreate them.
Implement Mastery: Elven Ring
requirement: Must be Eladrin or Elf
benefit: One time per encounter you may use your intelligence bonus instead of the listed ability bonus on any one attack role or damage roll.
Elven Rings have the same costs as wands of the same levels, but may have attack or utility powers embedded in them.
18DELTA :P
-But, what is Elves of Faerûn, you ask? Clear you mind, and mediate on it fr a while. What Elves of Faerûn is differs for all of us. Only you can truly answer what Elves of Faerûn is and what it isn't. Ohmmm...
)Yes, yes, all that talk of elves is well and good, but what of my creation? Does it seem balanced? Does it feel right lore-wise?
-I mentioned it because Belluth are Elven ring-wands.
Is it a feat? An alternative wizard class feature? An item? I don't know. If it is an alternative wizard feature, what's its purpose? For multiclass-only characters? All of the wizard spells' attack/damage are already based off of intelligence, so for single-class wizards, it makes no sense. However, the only way to get implement mastery is to be a wizard, so... I guess I'm confused here. Like I said, I like the concept, I just don't know what this particular write-up is supposed to accomplish.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm kinda slow here, but I don't really see what the purpose of this item is. I like it's flavor and the thought behind it, but I'm just merely confused.

I think it a flavor thing, more a role-playing thing then crunch, but I like adding that kind of stuff to the existing game.

Alternative wizard class feature (another implement option). Yes it is designed for multiclass characters, eladrin and elves specifically, since they both have weapon proficiencies that could be better exploited in this manner. It does work for basic attacks as well, however, so if you are attacked by something and all you have is a dagger or staff to defend yourself, then you might still be able to get a good shot in.
