in 4e. I can use the power of wizzard: Arcane WhirlwindHowling winds straight from the Elemental Chaos whip your foes around the battlefield.Daily Arcane, Evocation, Implement, Thunder, Zone Standard Action Area burst 2 within 10 squaresTarget: Each creature in the burstAttack: Intelligence vs. ReflexHit: 2d6 + Intelligence modifier thunder damage, and you slide the target 1 square.Miss: Half damage.Effect: The burst creates a zone of rushing winds that lasts until the end of your next turn. As a minor action, you can slide one creature within the zone 2 squares. As a move action, you can move the zone 6 squares.Sustain Minor: The zone persists, and you can slide one creature within the zone 2 squares
To move a creature that occupies 9 square with the effect of this magic,whereas a creature normally occupies only one square????????????

They won't occupy 9 squares, but be moved 9 squares. Here is an example:
The field:
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXEXXXX XXXXXAXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX E = Enemy X = Blank Space A = Center of Arcane Whirlwind.
Assuming you hit you can do this: XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXEXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXZXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
Moving the creature one square. Now as a minor action on that turn you can choose to slide the creature 2 squares furthur (since it is still in the zone.)
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXEX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXZXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
Then as a movement action say you want to move the zone.
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXEX XXXXXXXXZX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
It goes there. On the monster's turn he moves away. to this formation:
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXZX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXEXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
If you wanted to on your next turn you could use 2 minors and a move in order to move and sustain the zone, and move the creature. It would look like this:
Move action to move the zone:
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXZXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXEXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
It is now in the zone, so you can sustain minor to move it here:
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXEZXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
Then downgrade your standard action to a minor action (not sure why you would want to do this, but it is something you can do) to move it like this:
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXEXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXZXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
Make sense? The creature only occupies one square, but can be moved a lot.

Sure. basically just slide the center of the creature.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXEEEXXX XXXZXEEEXXX XXXXXEEEXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX
That would be 1 square of sliding and the creature would still be in the zone. The creature doesn't need it's whole body in the zone to be able to be moved. An ancient gargantuan blue dragon only needs his pinky toe in the zone to be tossed about.

Unless the specific power you are using specifies that there is a size limit, there isn't one. If it says you push, pull, or slide the target, then can do so.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.
