Transmutation is largely a buffing school, but there are a few debuffs scattered throughout. I come asking the playground for help finding some.

Here's what I have:
Animate Rope
Baleful Polymorph
Flesh to stone/salt/ice.
Pyrotechnics (with a reliable fire source, such as the summon elemental reserve feat)
Ray of Clumsiness
Reverse Gravity
Slow
Stone Shape (if you're creative)
Temporal Stasis
Transmute Mud to Rock
Transmute Rock to Mud

What I notice about most of these spells is that they are SoDs (Baleful Polymorph, Flesh to X, Temporal Stasis), very situational (Transmute Rock to Mud, Pyrotechnics) or not very useful for their level (Reverse Gravity).

So, for a Transmuter that wants to have some debuffs in his repertoire what is there?

EDIT: Also looking for BFC spells.

I've got a few more:
Telekinesis can grapple foes, but it requires you to concentrate.
Halt is good aainst chargers.

No other suggestions? Is Transmutation's versatility located solely in polymorphing?

1. Lesser Spider Form (DOTU): Shoot webs at your enemies. Share with your familiar so that it has something useful to do.
4. Baleful Blink (PHB2): Save or suck
4. Entangling Staff (SpC)
4. Perfect Summons (BoED): Sort of a Battlfield control against summons.
4. Voice of the Dragon (SpC): Suggestion spell for those who banned enchantment
6. Scalding Mud (Sandstorm): Improved Rock to Mud
7. Glass Strike (SpC): SoD that work against undead and constructs.
