Low-level area effect attacks

[megamania]

I was thinking missile weapons and also certain floor based traps also. The above ideas have much of it covered. What about Web? No damage just a major PITA at times. Animals and summoned critters often don't have the strength to escape readily either.

Baby dragon, burning hands, swarms, sound burst: Duly noted. Thanks.

Web, color spray, & sleep: Not area effect damage.

Burning Hands 1d4 per caster level max 5d4

Swarms they cover a 10ft space and are large enough to cover 4 spaces

Bingo. Those were my suggestions too. Already covered.
