Prerequisite: Wizard class, must know the Mage Hand cantrip
Master of the Unseen Hand Path Features
Improved Mage Hand (11th level): Your Mage Hand cantrip is treated as having a Strength score equal to your Intelligence score for determining how much weight it can lift, carry and manipulate, rather than being limited to 20 lbs. You can perform Strength-based actions through your Mage Hand, such as attempting to break or bend objects. Additionally, the range of your Mage Hand cantrip is increased to 10 squares.
Telekinetic Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you gain a +4 bonus to any action taken by your Mage Hand until the start of your next turn, including attack rolls made with the Forceful Hand and Fling Upward powers.
Unseen Hand (16th level): As a free action, you can make your Mage Hand invisible to others. You can still see and direct your Mage Hand normally. The hand remains invisible for the duration of its existence, but you can dismiss the effect as a free action. While invisible, any attacks you make through the hand (including the Forceful Hand and Fling Upward powers, below) have combat advantage unless the target is capable of perceiving invisible objects.

Looks cool, although the sustain effect on the encounter power is too strong.
I would suggest making it so that on a hit the player can choose to knock prone, push or grab the target along with a daze until end of your next go.
Forceful hand seems a little weak to me, comparing it to Bigby's Grasping Hands. Then again, it is significantly more versatile. I would say, increase the damage a little bit.
