At first I didnt like wintertouched/lastingfrost/frost weapon because it sounded such a cheeseball mis-interpretation of intention, and this is just a further extension of it. Howver, take for instance Arcane Admixture. Sure, it adds another damage type to an existing power (giving it better DR penetration) but its more than that. It allows counter synergy against other abilities. Put thunder damage on scorching burst then (using that feat that expands thunder power radius, cant remember its name) expand the radius for a burst 2 at-will. This is exactly what the designers intended, not only that feats can give benefits, but that they also can interact with other feats to create interesting effects. Im not quite sure which way to go with your scenario. I dont find RAW or RAI clear on this point. It seems cheeseball, but I also get the feeling it might not be. At the end of the day, the end effect has a hefty fee (3 feats and requirement to use a very particular weapon, precluding the chance to use other weapons) and combine that with designer intention that feats are meant to synergise, Im almost inclined to pay it. I just cant stop the cheeseball alarm going of in the back of my head.
