3-04 Magic on the Battlefield has the "Perfect Defense" article which covers defensive Imbuements.

3-13 Thaumatology has "The Mystic Knight" which has both the Mystic Knight template and several Perks.

3-60 Dungeon Fantasy has "Mystic Power-Ups" which is more Imbuements and Perks aimed at the Mystic Knight (but are fine for all). It also has several... Technique/Perks, one of which is Efficient Imbuement.

Efficient Imbuement 7 points/skill
Prerequisite: any Imbuement Skill.
You’ve mastered one Imbuement Skill well enough that unless something goes horribly wrong, it only requires a minimal amount of energy. Reduce the FP cost of this Imbuement Skill by 1.
Perks: Unique Technique (Efficient Imbuement) [1].
Techniques: Efficient Imbuement (H) Skill+0 [6].

You also want to buy up Talents at least some instead of buying up all those skills

I recommend putting a Chi-based power modifier (-10%) on Imbue, which saves you another 4 points, and then buying a power talent (5/level) to increase the Imbuement skills. You may also want to consider looking at Power-Ups 3: Talents for a few other talents that could tie in; there's at least four possible "chi talents" there that could benefit related skills, and all those could be made into power talents with an additional 5 points per level.

It all depends on how you see the guy coming by his elemental attacks and what might interfere with their use.
