34) Screw with drunkards at the tavern by lighting up their drinks when they touch them so they ignore your rouge stealing the purses

35) Make it look like your oppoonent soiled himself so you gain combat advantage

37. Glowing footprints (marking an object via prestidigitation) that leads a bad guy around a corner and right into the waiting weapons of the rest of the party.:D

38. Laser pointer and map for planning sessions.

39. Laser pointer to get those ever so playful panthers and wolves to chase it.

40) Use prestidigitation to write a derogatory or offensive message on someones forehead, or back... "All city guards are eunuchs" is a good one...

41. In a related vein to number 30, mimic the Todd from Scrubs by congratulating your traveling companions with a "Mage five!".

42. Making yourself look presentable to the queen and king after trekking through slime-filled underdark passages.

43. Itch that one spot on your back that you can never reach with mage hand.

44. Putting out the campfires in an enemy encampment, or better yet, move one of the flaming logs into their tents!

45. Make iron rations taste like the finest roast duck.

46. Make enemy merchant's wares taste like excrement

47. Pull the magical equivalent of ding-dong-ditch by knocking on a door with mage hand from a safe distance away, and then hightailing it out of there.

48. Dip the mage hand in blood or a blood-like substance, and fool superstitious primitives into thinking theirs some sort of evil undead about by drawing ominous messages on walls/floors with it. (Accompany with wailing from ghost sound if desired.)

49. Sneak up on the unsuspecting goblins/kobolds/bandits/whatever. Use Mage Hand to steal something from one person's pocket and put it into the pocket of another. Since Thievery probably isn't your kind of skill anyway, you might get them to fight eachother. Either be good at stealth or have invisibility-type spells so you won't get caught.

50. Lost something into a pit of molten, acidic magma filled with flaming, man-eating piranhas the excrete pure pain into their environment? Fish it out with Mage Hand since Conjurations no longer take Environmental damage in 4th.

51. Is your enemy throwing grenades, alchemist's fire or the likes at you? Ready an action to grab the item in mid-air with Mage Hand and throw it back at them. Even if you botch, the only one to take damage is the Mage Hand.

52. (Old classic) Have humans or others in your party who can't see in the dark? Use Light or Prestidigitation at Will to make a coin/arrow/sock/whatever glow and throw it down the hallway. Voila, free glow-stick.

53. (this happened in my previous game) Use Mage Hand to stir the food, sweep the floors, clean the dishes, make the beds and carry the drinks. Use Prestidigitation to make your food taste fantastic, to make everything appear squeaky-clean, to avoid having to bathe, to clean and dry-press your clothes, clean your room, dust off your tomes and shelves and the likes. All the time sitting in the center of the room, reading or talking with your friends. Use Ghost Sound to play the music from Fantasia while doing so.

54. Are you a male Elf or Eladrin? Are you tired of humans and Dwarves confusing you for a female and hitting on you? I am too! But now you can use Ghost Sound to convince these no-good louts that their very angry mother/wife is coming after them.

55. Use Prestidigitation to change your skin, hair and eye color, add or remove tattoos or in other ways allow you to conceal yourself. Voila, at-will, low-level Disguise spell.

56. Rock the enemy boat with Mage Hand until they fall out.

57. Pick up filthy things with Mage Hand and clean them off with Prestidigitation. Useful, considering how squeamish some wizards can be.

58. Get a bunch of lead ore, craft them into rings and the likes and change their color to gold. With a good Bluff check, it shouldn't be too hard to convince dumb shopkeepers in backwards towns, ogres, goblins or the likes that your lead is actually gold. Buy your way past encounters with it.

59. Use prestidigitation and Bluff to convince someone that the vial of sand you have is actually full of Residuum and that if they act now, they can save a bunch of money by buying it from you.

60. (Elves/Eladrins) Use Light to make your hair glow like Legolas or Haldir in Lord of the Rings. Or use it to make your teeth gleam like they do in some cheesy movies.

61. Place a paper maché horn on a mostly-white horse. Use Prestidigitation to make its coat look immaculately white and the horn real. Add a Light for cosmetic effects. Sell it off to idiots as a unicorn.

62. (multiclassed w/clerics) Use Prestidigitation on your sleeping party members to make it appear as if they have measles or a disfiguring rash. Offer to sell them some ointment for it before it gets worse.

63. Buy a regular lizard and teach it to sit up and flap its gums when it wants a snack. Use Ghost Sound on the lizard and convince people that they should switch their cart insurance to Gecko.

64. Use Ghost Sound to disguise your voice (or speak in a deep otherworldly voice; combined with Presidigitation to make your eyes glow and swirl should give you a nice bonus to Intimidate checks).

65. Use Ghost Sound to covertly communicate with your teammates (range 10 squares and no one outside of 1 square can hear what you're saying to them).

66. Use Mage Hand to hold onto your staff while you sit at the bar having a pint (a Staff of Power makes an excellent hat rack by the way).

67. When looking for someone, use Prestidigitation to create a small hologram of the person you're looking for when talking to locals so they can tell you if they've seen them.

68) Using prestidigitation to make the annoying elf in your party look like a drow, do this in the middle of a large city and watch them get what is coming to them.

69) Use prestidigitation to give a disliked woman (npc or party member) a pointy nose with warts, then start yelling "she's a witch, burn her", when asked for proof, claim she turned you into a newt.
