That's an interesting expression. What about a turd for a paddle?

Well, you don't HAVE to build anything, but I like Zen's suggestions. I frequently go dual-shields with mages, and am a particular friend of the Crystal Shield as a second shield if I can afford it, and it looks like you can. I use this for my S&A CM's, usually with Rainbow Armor, Boots of the Messenger, a Starshine Skullcap (you wont want that as Caelum, so choose something tastier), a Lucky Coin, a Water Bracelet (also nice for Caelum), and a Clam for casting PotS. (<-- watch Boron freak: OMG, youre using clams instead of hoarding them??)
Frankly, I use Bottles of Water on assassins, I dont think it is worth it out in the field, but that is up to you of course. As Caelum, you have lots of water.
Good luck
