Phantasmal Force is great. Used it on a Mini-Boss fighting alongside the Big Bad and then described “a giant goose comes crashing through the skylight, with it’s head low it charges you with a furious ‘HONK!’”
The DM played along a little by rolling to randomize what he swung at each round. Everytime he’d swing at the goose to “keep the illusion” I’d describe that he successfully hacked off a head, but now two more sprouted in its place and the honking intensifies.
The best part was the last sliver of damage he took was from the Phantasmal Force. So in his mind he was slain by a hydra goose.
You fill their lungs up. It was creative the first time, but it’s a very well-known shenanigan at this point. 3.5 had a specific note in Create Water: Conjuration spells can’t create substances or objects within a creature.

A DM once attacked our party with wargs in an arctic tundra in the dead of night.
I discovered an offensive use of Create Water.
When you think about it, the body of any living creature is an open container made of animal skin.
Creative. Could you create water inside of someone? Fill their bladder up?

From the d20srd for d&d 3.5:
Note: Conjuration spells can’t create substances or objects within a creature.
Could you do it within rock and cause explosions?
I think so, but water might just squirt out, freezing conditions though
That’s been thought of so many times that d&d tells you it doesn’t work inside living things, and has done so for a few versions
Oh yes, I’m aware. I still think it’s funny enough to share with players who haven’t heard it before.
