No other sorcerer powers ould gain this bonus. Note, that this is the case without the feat. Note also that no sorcerer powers have the weapon keyword and this feat does not add the weapon keyword to the powers it affects.2) Does dual implement caster's bonus apply to the melee attack?Yes provided the power is an implement power; dual implement caster applies to implement powers. Note that essentially all sorcerer powers have the implement keyword (those that have no benefit that can be gained from an implement are the obvious exceptions).3) If using Acid Orb, which counts as a ranged basic attack, does that mean when used with a dagger it counts as a melee basic attack?This is tricky. RAW the fact that this power is a basic attack is not part of the range; it is a special feature of the power. That means that it becomes a melee 1 power that can also be used as a ranged basic attack. Logically, because the power is a ranged basic attack and the power is being changed to a melee attack then the power is now a melee basic attack but this is not explicitly called out in the rules.I would rule that yes it changes but YMMV.There is a real advantage to Acid Orb becoming a MBA instead of just a MA. Only basic attacks can be used bor OA and Interrupts so the sorcerer would gain the ability to make an OA with Acid Orb. Also, Commander's Strike would be able to trigger this power. Given that sorcerers are not well geared for melee, moving in so close is probably not in the sorcerer's best interest however.DC</blockquote>
