Elemental Sneak attack [General]
When sneak attacking with a spell or weapon dealing elemental* damage you may make your sneak attack damage of that element type. All resistances of the target will apply normally to this damage.
For those who have access to this feat through Use Magic device a UMD check DC 20 is required to successfully use the feat.
DM's option: Sneak attack damage in this form may affect constructs, undead and others usually immune to precision-based damage.
* fire, lightning, acid, cold, positive energy, negative energy
Prerequisites: Sneak attack or similar precision-damage ability, spellcaster level 1st or 5 ranks in Use Magic device
Wand-strike Weapon
These weapons vary in type and design but are usually small and easily concealable. They have a hollow chamber running through the hilt and into the blade in which a small magical item containing an elemental damage spell can be secured. (This is usually a wand although some have been known to function with other items eg a potion of flame breath.)
A weapon of this type grants a user with sneak attack (or similar ability) the use of the Elemental Sneak Attack feat, damage type as appropriate to the item contained within. Each use of the feat drains one charge/use from the item. If the contained item has a command word or similar activation some versions require the user to utter this / UMD activate the item as part of the attack action.
Unlike similar weapons which use the Arcane Sneak Attack feat these deal damage based on the wielder's ability rather than the power of the spell used.
Wand-strike is a +1 equivalent ability
