what kind of tricks have you tought about using magic?
Here is one of mine:

I had a friend who was pretty good at creative usage of magic. Once when I threw skeletons at them he simply took them apart by removing crucial bones with telekinesis

You understand that platinum is just 10x gold in everything but 4e, right?
We once did a theft and cover our tracks with fresh manure. We got a few bags of that fresh dung and our mage scatterd it over the place with telekinesis. Guard didn't even bother getting their hounds to the place.
