Other spells can have flavor text adjusted.  Mordenkainen's Sword, for example, can be changed from a sword of crackling golden force into  a spectral animal that attacks your foes.  Likewise Bigby's Grasping Hands could become spectral bears or some such.  Blur conjures up a whirlwind of dust that swirls around you, and Mirror Image encases you in a sheathe of hot air that makes your image waver and double like a mirage in the desert.  Evard's Black Tentacles becomes Evard's Entangling Vines.At 11th Level be sure to take the Spellstorm Mage paragon path.Also, rituals will help a lot...  Animal Messenger, Commune with Nature and Mount, for example.  Many of the non-nature Rituals can be carefully re-flavored as well, if you're willing.I'll admit, that's one that will likely have to wait.  Though, there are quite a few necrotic spells already.You're a Warlord who likes to sing.  In battle, instead of commanding your friends with tactics, you inspire them with song to the same effect.  Make sure you have a decent Charisma (the gilded tongue) and Dexterity (the deft lift). Consider taking the Jack of All Trades feat. Dabble in some Wizard (A Fey-pact Warlockwould also work very well -- with more charm and illusion-based spells) cross-training during the heroic tier, and going full-on multiclass during the Paragon levels.If you happen to be a half-elf (best race for it), choose the Wizard's Prestidigitation as your Dillettente ability, and take Group Insight as a feat.Don't forget the rituals.Fey Pact Warlock.Simply a Fighter, Ranger or perhaps Rogue (depending on your style) who uses unarmed attacks...  Focus on abilities that invoke conditions, force movement or attack against a non-AC defense.It could take many levels to actually get as good at it as your description suggests.A Rogue who dabbles in Fighter or Ranger.  Alternatively, dabble in Wizard or Warlock, while spending a few feats on weapon proficiencies*.Master Infiltrator, Shadow Assassin, or full multiclassing secondary class at Paragon Levels.Note that weapon proficiencies are strictly necessary, as anyone can now use any weapon without penalty...  You just don't gain the listed attack bonus, if you aren't proficient.A Cleric who doesn't wear armor and swings a quarterstaff. Reference the suggested for the "Devoted Cleric" build in the PHB.  Pick feats like Linguist, Jack of All Trades, or Skill Focus (any of the "knowledge" skills).  Get lots of rituals, especially those focused on divination.Any combination of martial + arcane multiclassing could feasibly do this in 4E, especially at paragon levels.</blockquote>
