I'm trying to get a list of spells that you can (in exchange for ending the spell early) get a secondary effect.
Heart of (Air, Water, Fire, Esrth) spells and Unicorn Horn are obviously on the list. Any others anyone can think of?

There's voice of the dragon - for 10 minutes per level you have +10 to social skills, but you can end it early to create a suggestion effect.

One of my personal favourite spells, Surge of Fortune. It only lasts rounds/level it gives +2 to a bunch of rolls from attack/damage, to skills and ability checks, and even spell resistance penetration. You can however use an immediate (or swift on your turn) action to discharge it to make your next d20 roll for any of those things (other than damage of course, that doesn't use a d20) be treated as a natural 20 on the dice.

I wasn't sure spells like those met the OP request as they don't have any other effect going on until they activate and are discharged. If they do, there are a lot of other spells that meet that criteria as well.

Vision of the Omniscient Eye (3, Dragon Magic): if cast while under the effect of see invis or true seeing, discharge to gain a faerie fire for 1 min.

Shadow form (5 sorc/wiz, 4 assassin, spell compendium(SC)): if you have ranks in escape artist, discharge to attempt to slip through barriers, including walls of force.

Divine insight (cleric 2, SC) and Moment of Prescience (Sorc/Wiz 8, Core): Discharge for sizable bonus to skills and d20 rolls for MoP. The only have the discharge effect, but it's such a sizable bonus that it deserves mention

That's fair. I didn't include some for similar reasons.

What kind of spells are you looking for?

The kind that would annoy a DM if you had infinite use of the discharge ability.
