Hmm, the dependence of Spellcasters on Implements is not a new idea. The Magister (Wizard equivalent) from Arcana Evolved/unearthed by Monte Cook needs his Staff to cast Spells properly. Otherwise it takes more time and is harder to cast.
I guess WoC took some inspiration from Montes idea.
I gererally like it
BUT
If there are four implements that can give casting bonuses (eg. the wand +6), they might become the new "great 4" for every wizard PC.
Generic magic items you simply have to have. And a Tome +3 or a Staff +1 is generic as can be.
That worries me a little bit.
