Failing that, you might want to look for PrCs that your abilities would complement, rather than the other way around... for example, an assassin with illusionist roots would be even better at avoiding and subduing his foes. Same with an arcane trickster.

And, of course, any of the mage-based PrCs like Archmage or Loremaster will go well.

I remember Shadowcraft Illusionist from Races of Stone, but you have to be a gnome.
