  Hm, it's a weird concept indeed. But yeah, I guess Quicksand is good a centerpiece for it. Shadow Embrace will be somewhat redundant w/ Quicksand, though I guess you can make SEmbrace more about healing and/or CC. You'll also need to figure out what single-target dps power you want. Maybe go for something like Force Blast and color it amber? You can use something like Hurl to debuff for Crushing dmg too, and then MSA is an easy fit for the EU. Maybe you can also throw in something like Grasping Shadows for a hold, since you may have SEmbrace in there anyways. Here's an example build:
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Hybrid)
  v3.44:37
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Intelligence (Primary)
  Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary)
  Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Specialist (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Int: 8, Rec: 10)
  Level 6: Covert Ops Training (Str: 3, Dex: 3, Con: 3, Int: 3)
  Level 9: Negotiator (Int: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 15: Coordinated (Dex: 5, Int: 5)
  Level 18: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
  Level 21: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Power Bolts
  Level 1: Force Blast (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 6: Concentration
  Level 8: Regeneration (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 11: Hurl (Hard Fall, Didn't See That Coming)
  Level 14: Molecular Self-Assembly
  Level 17: Shadow Embrace (Dark Displacement, Draining Shadows)
  Level 20: Resurgence (Rank 2)
  Level 23: Quicksand (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 26: Endorphin Rush (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 29: Grasping Shadows (Unyielding Agony, Consumption)
  Level 32: Force Shield (Rank 2)
  Level 35:
  Level 38:
  Adv. Points: 32/36
  
  Travel Powers
  Level 6:
  Level 35:
  
  Specializations
  Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
  Intelligence: Battle of Wits (2/3)
  Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
  Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
  Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
  Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
  Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
  Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
  Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
  Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
  Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
  Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
  Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)
  
  The open power slots can be used for w/e ya want.
  
  Uses Hurl and Force Blast for single-targets (you can tap-spam the blast on trash that you don't want to KB much), while Quicksand and SEmbrace can be used for AoE, and Grasping Shadows can also be thrown in. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and Dex.
  
  Another general possibility for the concept is to make it a Might/melee build that just punches things, though Quicksand and SEmbrace are ranged powers so they won't be as effective then.

  Thanks Flow. I know it's weird lol. I come up with some strange ideas sometimes. I don't know if the Power Bolts fits the theme though. I would think Psi Lash would fit better visually but I guess you put that in there that way I can get Concentration early on.

  Well, it's just the energy builder, and you should rarely (or never) be using it at higher levels anyways. But if you really wanted Psi Lash, then prob the easiest way to allow that atm is to move Force Shield into the 3rd power slot (lvl 6's) and re-order the rest of the powers accordingly (though this will delay some of the more pertinent powers a bit more, if leveling w/ it). Hope the build works out for you, regardless.
