Using telekinesis to grapple, disarm or trip opponents.

Getting monstrous vermin out of the summon monster spells.

Freedom of movement make you effectively immune to grappling.

I had a character cast a cantrip (hygiene) on a smelly person I was intimidating.
The DM told me that I recoiled from his putrid breath. So I told him if I had to interrogate the dirty half-dead wanker, at least I didn't want his smell sticking to me.

Thats not really a new use though.

I use Melf's Acid Arrow to point out where invisible creatures are. The acid remains on the outside of the invisibility. The continuing damage represents acid that is still there, so the other PCs know where to aim because they can see the acid floating in the air.

One of my favorites always used to be see invis and dancing lights to show my buddies the exact location of those invisible flying fireball sorcerers.
