Alright, so I love some of the Frank and K [Tome] class features, but there are very few DMs that allow the material into their campaigns. So here's what I want to do: I want to adapt these abilities into feats, and balance them against other material on this board in the hope that they'll see the light of play. I'm looking for extra pairs of eyes to tell me if they're balanced or not. Note that I'm not trying to balance these against Core, nor am I trying to balance them against WotC epic feats. I'm trying to balance them so that high level melee can use them in games with Tier 1 and 2 characters.
Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. Example 4.

Exceptional Weapon Deflection [Fighter] [Epic]
Prerequisites: Combat Reflexes, Weapon Focus, ability to deflect arrows with a weapon
Benefits: While holding a weapon with which you have the Weapon Focus feat, once per round when you would normally be hit with any ranged attack (including spells that require ranged touch attacks) you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.
Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon doesn’t count as an action.
Special: A fighter may take this feat as one of her fighter bonus feats.
Infinite Weapon Deflection [Fighter] [Epic]
Prerequisites: Dex 25, Combat Reflexes, Weapon Focus, ability to deflect arrows with a weapon
Benefits: You may perform any number of deflections each round, as the Deflect Arrows feat.
Special: A fighter may take this feat as one of her fighter bonus feats.
Parry Magic [Fighter] [Epic]
Prerequisites: Exceptional Weapon Deflection OR Exceptional Deflection
Benefits: When you are targeted by a spell or supernatural ability, you may take an Attack of Opportunity against the targeted effect. Make an attack roll against an AC equal to the spell or effect's DC+15. If successful, the effect does not affect you. If no save is listed for the spell, the spell cannot be parried in this way.
Special: This feat does not interact with Infinite Deflection. Only one spell or supernatural ability may be deflected in this way during a round.
A fighter may take this feat as one of her fighter bonus feats.

As a standard action, he can also destroy unattended objects of any Hardness with a successful Ancestral weapon attack, or dispel up to a 10' by 10' section of a [force] effect.
Cut Magic (Su): At 12th level, a Samurai may attack ongoing spell effects by attacking the square they are in for Area of Effect effects or the object or person for targeted effects (which does damage as normal to the object or person). This attack is handled like the Samurai's Parry Magic ability, but it only dispels a 10' by 10' section of an Area of Effect spell or spell-like ability.

Cut Magic [Fighter]
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Power Attack, Strength 21, BAB 15
Benefits: You may attack a single ongoing spell effect by taking a standard action to attack a square it is in. This attack is handled like the Parry Magic ability, but it only dispels a 10' by 10' section of an Area of Effect spell or spell-like ability.
The character may also dispel a 10' x 10' section of a [Force] effect by making attacks against an AC of 10 + caster level and dealing at least 50 damage to it.
Special: A fighter may take this feat as one of her fighter bonus feats.
