1) Use the Assassin's Executioner's Noose to web-swing over obstacles and across rooms.
2) Cast Ghost Sound on your axe while everyone but the person scheming against you is asleep and have a hushed conversation with it, thus convincing him that it's an artifact of elder evil... and that you by association should not be messed with.
So far she's torched a pirate ship, an undead and exploded a monster made of gas. (We run a homebrew setting.) And was trying to use a sunrod to stab a vampire-like creature with to make it abit more managable.
It can also screw up rituals and similar by changing the colours of necessary components. One party I've heard about stopped a demon summoning using it.
Twin Strike, a handle and a long rope gives you a very awesome flying fox.
Iron Spike of Dis has been used to reinforce a door before. No one wants to get close to the big metal spike on it.
use mage hand to catch a fireball and cause it to burst far from the party.
prestidigitation to make a vampire become sparkly.
skittering sneak and speak with nature combined for impressive effect.
oath of enmity on a door to better destroy it. (questionable in some rulings)
chilling cloud to put out a growing forest fire.
magic missile to break a boat oar.
Avernian Erruption to cook dinner. Cooked a bunch of fish while they were still in a river and made a good head-start on a dire boar.
The entire table busted up laughing.
prestidigitation to make a vampire become sparkly.
I hope the vampire was upset with this.
it was indeed. it even began to sing

16 Wizards (NPC and PC)+1 Arena=Mage Hand boxing tournament
Lay on Hands, Prestidigitation or other At-Will powers in town to gain a bunch of worshippers.
Mage Hand to knock the cat out of the tree.
Empowering Lightning to do the same.
Barbarian's charge to knock the tree over.
Instead I used it to induce vomiting among enemies, as I used it to tug on their uvulas.
Mage hand the guard a wedgie
(Given the right magic item. A wand of Mage Hand or something like that) Summon a bunch of Mage Hands to play poker, do the laundry, set up the tents, start a campfire, make drawing magic circles faster, catch and prepare fish or even dress you up in the morning (can't be bothered to do it yourself).
Have Mage Hands hold a weapon each (either to just make it dangerous for the enemy to go somewhere, or so you can just take the weapon from a Mage Hand instead of drawing it (or it can give you the weapon).
If you have to torture someone: Lay on hands or other healing power to heal them, then torture them, while frequently healing them, just before they pass out (They can't talk if they're unconcious).
For Shapeshifters: Change your looks to someone with high status in town (preferably a corrupt official) the day before doing this (Don't remember if it's a daily power or not), steal something from a bunch of different stores, and blend into the crowd by changing shape to a peasant.
Player: Can I fey step out of my clothes?
DM: what!??!
Player: Like, could I dissapear, and reappear 5 squares away, only my clothing is still all in my original square?
DM: *pause* I guess but...
Player: That's all I wanted to know.
DM: What are you going to do?
Player: Don't worry you will see.
DM: Somehow, I get the feeling I am about to regret this ruling.

Cast Eldritch Blast on a commoner to make him get out of the way
Used Magic Missile in an archery contest
Used Mage Hand to hand to pick up the all kinds of handheld items (including weapons)
Used Thievery to disable and take some Magic Crossbow Turrets and then Thievery to mount the Magic Crossbow Turrets... on a Tenser's Floating Disk/Hava's Magical Surfboard (see explanation below). From now on, every time we summon a Floating Disk, it has two Magic Crossbow Turrets mounted on the edge.
Used Tenser's Floating Disk to cross some water. The three others used the same disk (DM let them) and I (a Deva Wizard named Hava) used one myself. In the game world the DM had let me have it remodeled at a Blacksmith, to make it longer, yet more streamlined. This eventually led to me later having the choice between summoning a Floating Disk or a Magic Surfboard. When used to summon the surfboard (which, by the way, could also hover) the ritual was refered to as Hava's Magic Surfboard. (Houserule)
Had a shaman use it to keep a hot-air baloon from crash landing. Pretty clever.
Need to hire an army, but short on cash? Just go up to them and cast Memory to Mist on them, then let your bluff-experts fool the army into thinking they just accepted joining your army for free.
Not really an Everyday Power, but still: Got money? Want to level up? Kill something, then drag it to the local temple, have it revived (through Raise Dead), just to slay it again. Do this as many times as the DM allows it (or as many times as you have money to revive the bugger.

yeeeaaah. I'd actually take away XP for that sort of shenanigans. I'd probably take away levels for that. Or that is what I'd do if I didn't outright uninvite the player from joining the table again.
Iron door? No problem! *Cuts out an opening*

I'd totally let my party do something like this. And each time they do it they get exponentially more evil and exponentially less xp if any. About the only thing they're learning this way is how to butcher that kind of foe (Doctors do this kind of thing, as do morticians, taxadermists and others, so you can make the arguement for an xp gain.) But it is undoubtably an evil act.
In fact, depending on which temple you brought the creature to to be ressurected the priests, clerics and paladins of that particular diety may either welcome you with open arms, or banish you from the town.

That's almost not just a tiny bit of an extremely moronic response. You're the DM, so you get to make rules calls that don't consist of being a total jerk. Like, oh, I dunno... having the monster be unwilling to be brought back and slain after the first or second revival, and maybe giving them half xp the first time for ingenuity, but none the second time because they're not learning anything. Plus, what's stopping the temple from just saying no? Even if they revive the monster once, unless the temple is outright evil, they won't be doing it more than a few times (and if it is outright evil, then the PCs should get attacked by assassins to keep them from using this idea to get stronger further down the road).
Now look at that, all sorts of plot points and perfectly rational in-character explanations for why that might not work, and no jerkishness or uninviting required.

In 3.5, this doesn't work. Subjects must be willing to be raised. I don't remember if this rule is in 4e, but it should be.
47) light on an enemy's helmet.
47) light on an enemy's helmet.
Even better if the enemy's invisible. You have to find it first, but that's why you keep a handful of sand ready to toss.
At which point he uses Stonebreaker to pop through a wall and does his best koolaid man impression.
47) light on an enemy's helmet.
Don't you have to touch the object your casting light on?
(52) [3.5ed.] Use Hold Portal to seal a door that an enemy is trying to escape through

In 3.5 (as far as I've learned from Neverwinter Nights 2) yes, but not in 4.0, because they increased the range to 4 or 5 squares rather than "melee touch". Then again... Who's to say he wouldn't use Invisibility on himself and then move up close to the enemy and cast Light?
Otherwise, to avoid confusion, it may be a good idea to write [3.5] or [4.0] in front of any further additions to the list if the powers exist in both versions, but work differently.

Cleric: Ugh, we are not imploring the gods to bring your umber hulk back to life. Now if you would please leave, you're getting blood on the carpets.
