The hacking tool is much cooler! It really ties his theme together and makes it clear who he is and what he does.
Except, I would suggest, don't make it a "tool". Make it just a "Systems Hack", and make it have a cast/channel time. Give it that moment of tension, where you get to the enemy structure, and you're hoping you can pull off the hack before they notice you. The effect should be stronger, and if it has a cast time and is interruptible, you can push the effect...
