Okay. First off, conjurers are into other planar gates and stuff, right? How about these:

Minor Drain (1 round): Opens a brief portal to the negative material plane over the target, causing some hp, mana, and move damage (doesn't heal the caster).

Energy Burst (1 round): A small gate to the positive material plane opens in front of the target, blasting them with raw force. Does minor damage (double versus undead), might blind them (33 percent chance) can possibly knock them out of the room (20 percent chance).

Ethereal Strike (2 rounds): Conjurer opens a short rift to the Ethereal plane at his target that is centered on the middle of its body. The conjurer then sticks his weapon through, effectively striking at their innards and bypassing their armor and defenses.
This can be dodged but can't be parried or shield blocked, basically giving an extra attack that's hard to avoid.

These, along with magic missile, would make a nice complement. What do you think?
