What if there was a single feat that let you not provoke when you attempted a (any) maneuver? Doesn't give a bonus like the 'improved' feats just took out the AoO.

Tack it onto Combat Expertise seeing most players don't use it or flat-out forget about it except as a pre-req. The alternative would be to move the non-provoke statements into a new feat, Improved Combat Expertise mayhaps?

A black blade is always a one-handed slashing weapon, a rapier, or a sword cane. The magus chooses the blade’s type upon gaining the blade, and once chosen, it can’t be changed. As a bladebound magus increases in level, his black blade gains power.

There you go.

EDIT: Keep in mind the black blade is intelligent and has a rapid ego progression. Even better, as DM you get to decide what its endgame goals are and can even use the player's personality against them. Something tells me this person doesn't really know what they're getting into...
