I´ve been tinkering with a blademaster archtype and I´m looking for some feedback:

Windwalk
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level Longsword becomes a monk weapon for you, also when you use a ki point to activate Step of the Wind you become invisible until the end of your next turn or until you attack(whichever happens first), if you end your invisibility with an attack you deal an extra d10 points of damage.
Mirror Image
At 6th level when you use a bonus action to use Patient defense you also create 2 Illusionary duplicates of yourself, this functions as you had cast mirror image on yourself, but the duration is only until the end of your next round.
Critical Strike
At 11th level, Your weapon attacks with longsword may score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, and your critical hits with longsword deal an additional die of damage.
Bladestorm
At 17th level, you learn the ultimate technique of the blademasters. If you are wielding a Long Sword you can spend 5 Ki points as a standard action to initiate a bladestorm: The Bladestorm deals 6d10 Slashing Damage to each creature within 10 feet of you(Dexterity save for half damage, Save DC: 8+wisdom mod. + proficiency bonus) and moves with you until the end of your next turn. In addition the violent release of energy and the speed of the spinning weapon partially cuts incoming magics apart, during the bladestorm you are resistant to damage from magic and have advantage on saving throws versus magic.
This is mostly based on the Warcraft 3 version of the Blademaster, so I welcome any thoughts you may have.
