When you use a magic item as part of a racial power or a class power, the keywords of the item's power and the other power all apply."Wow.  Uh.  That's weird.  I mean, I get that a flaming longsword makes all your fighter's attacks gain the Fire keyword, but that text implies that any Implement power a wizard uses has the Thunder keyword if he has a Thunderwave Staff... or, as you said, that a Wand of Icy Rays puts the Cold keyword onto your fireballs, which makes no sense, or a Wand of Dreadful Word applies Fear to everything you do.I don't like this whole thing of adding keywords all over the place.  It's one thing if you want to say that a Flaming sword that uses its free power to turn into fire will then add the fire keyword to all your Weapon powers, but... this rule seems bent.</blockquote>
