Symbolic item forms

[Voadam]

I'm playing a multiclass wizard with the spell war mastery from Quintessential wizard. This spell grants a character the use of a fighter bonus feat he qualifies for for 1/minute/level.

I'm thinking of making some items using this spell but I'm not sure what would be symbolically correct item forms for some feats.

Deflect arrows can work with bracers (as in Hercules the legendary journeys) or gloves(as in the existing item) and a sheath for quickdraw seems right, but what about improved initiative or combat reflexes?

I already have good items in the robes, boots and cloak category so I'm trying to avoid those item slots.

weapon focus (rays) or point blank shot or precise shot or some other ranged help would also be nice on a bracer or armband.

what about using ioun stones?

For improved intitiative and combat reflexes how about having a light helm made? A helm is a good symbol for warrior's skills, and since both those feats are at least as much mental as physical, then putting it in the same location as the other mind-affecting items seems reasonable.

Otherwise you're just going to have to come to terms with the fact that you'll be upgrading an old item and paying double the normal price for the effect.

I'm trying to go with form = function before trying to sell the DM on my item ideas and I dislike the image of floating rocks circling me anyway.

I don't use rays (I throw lightning bolts, webs and magic missiles) so I'm not considering that weapon focus but PBS and other archery feats on bracers makes sense to me.

Thanks Diaglo

A headdress-type thing of feathers for Improved Initiative?

I can see using the hide of a quick striking animal, such as a snake, in an item, but I don't quite get the shaman headdress thing. What's the symbolic connection your suggesting?
