Way of the Grasped Wind [Monastic Tradition]

Inspired basically entirely by this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji9NPW3mi8o).

3 :- The Art of Silence
You gain proficiency in your choice of Stealth or Performance. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that solely rely on avoiding making noise.

3 :- Performed to Perfection
You may expend a ki point at any point to draw a non-existent tool or weapon that you are proficient with out of thin air, allowing you to pretend to use that item until the world remembers that you, in fact, do not have the item in question. You may use that tool or weapon normally for up to one minute or until you stop pantomiming. If the weapon in question has the Ammunition quality, you may produce an unlimited amount of imaginary (but still fully functional) arrows from a completely fictional quiver. Weapons produced this way deal Psychic damage instead of whatever damage they would normally deal.

6 :- Exaggerated for Effect
Once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an attack with a pantomimed weapon, you may spend 2 ki points to deal additional Psychic damage equal to one of your martial arts dice. If you do, that creature has disadvantage on the next attack they make against you before the start of your next turn.

11 :- Imposing Invisible Barriers
You may spend 6 ki points to cast Wall of Force. If you cast Wall of Force this way, ignore the verbal and material components of that spell.

17 :- ???
Don't know what goes here. Suggestions are welcome.

Why not both? Figure it would be reasonable to give them both proficiencys, performance isn't the most useful anyways.

Sounds neat! Might want to make it so that ammunition could be things other then just arrows, like rocks for slings or crossbow bolts for crossbows.

Would suggest making the ki cost a bit less.

If you add a few more spells to Imposing Invisible Barriers, it could work as the 17th level feature.

Scanning the spell list, maybe add Forcecage, Telekinesis, Passwall, and/or Mental Prison?

And there should probably be some combat mechanic that doesn't involve spending ki points. See the RAW Way of the Four Elements for my reasoning.
