Dusk Eclipse

Ok, my FLGS is running a 3.5 Eberron game (Eyes of the lich queen IIRC) next sunday, and I need want to play in that game (I haven't played 3.5 in a loooong time, ~ 8 months or so, pbp doesn't counts).
And considering the recent developments in Naruto and my general fanboyism for the Demon Hidden in the Mist; I want to make a character that is basically a Zabuza expy. I went to the BG boards because there is a great thread which stats many character from the series in nice, believable way (though some of the builds are epic ones :smalleek: Sasori is a freaking CR 28!!!); but I was a little disappointed with Zabuza's build:
Ranger 1/Wilder 4/Slayer 7/Psychic Assassin 8 (the one from the Mind's eye articlele); which while respectable I am sure I can do better, the answer obviously being an ardent.
With just changing the the Wilder levels for Ardent ones, and selecting Practiced Manifester as a feat, we can have up to level 9 powers!.
The problem is that with just 4 levels of Ardent I would only have two mantles to choose powers from, but then after seeing some of the feat selection (Monkey Grip for the Host sake!!!!) I figured out I could shuffle the feats a bit to get the tasty tasty Tap mantle feat which would gain me access to another mantle.
TL;DR I want to make Zabuza using ardent as my primary psionic class, please help to make it even better (plus a few rambles of my thought process).
Here is my revised Zabuza build (any resemblance to the original one by Radical Taoist is NOT coincedental)
Human Ranger 1/Ardent 4/Slayer 7/Psychic Assassin 8
1 Hidden Talent (Dimensional Slide)
Human: Mental Leap
Ranger Track
3 Tap Mantle (Elemental Mantle: Water)
6 Darkstalker
9 Practiced Manifester (Ardent)
12 Psionic Meditation
15 Ability Focus (Death Attack)
18 ...open
Now to get the Powers to represent Zabuza's Jutsu I would need to tinker with the mantles... a lot, so here is where you guys come in, please help me. I would be using the Substitute powers ACF in the Mind's Eye.
Here are my ideas so far
Water Jutsu/Water Elemental Mantle
Water Mantle
Granted Ability: When you are psionically focused, you gain a swim speed equal to your base land speed.
1 Float [A]: You can buoy yourself in water or other liquid.
1 Control Object (Water): Telekinetically animate a small amount of water or ice.
2 Body Equilibrium: You can walk on nonsolid surfaces.
3 Energy (Ice) Lance[A]: Water Element: Water Dragon Blast
3Energy (Ice) Cone: Water Element: Grand Waterfall Technique
4 Energy (Ice)Ball[A]: Touch deals 5d6 cold damage to foe.Water Cannonball - Energy Ball: Cold
5 Energy (Ice) Current [A]: Deal 9d6 cold damage to one foe and half to another foe as long as you concentrate.
6 Breath of the Black Dragon [A]: Breathe acid for 11d6 damage.
8 True Metabolism: You regenerate 10 hit points/round.
Conflict Mantle (this one is OK, but if you think there are powers that might help me and could go in this one, please tell me)
New Mantle: Assassin Mantle (obviously my creation, I still need to talk to my DM but I think I can convince him)
Control Light
Concealing Amorpha
Entangling Ectoplasm
Hustle
Greater Concealing Amorpha
Throw Ectoform (hyperconcious)
Control Sound
Inconsistent Location
Teleinetic Maneuver
Psionic Dimension Door
I think that is all. Thanks in advance
