I'm not sure what's the skill that actually *moves* these, as there's no tms to take into account, and the effects could be confusing. From a careful reading of them, the magic that is most likely used is animating.

Wonker's Wicked Wobble
What's it called? Wonker's Wicked Wobble (in short, WWW)
Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:
You wobble from side to side and bring the malleability of gold to the forefront of your mind.
You draw on the floppiness of the rubber knife.
You weave a rubbery replica of the xxx from the strands of your thoughts.
You project an image of the model which floats above you.
The rubbery creation flies into the xxx's rubbery xxx, and with a 'Glup!', melds into it.
Help Information:
Very little is known about Wicked Wobble. Some sketchy notes for the spell were discovered when they found the deceased Wonker - well a rubber statue that resembled his university iconograph. Nasty things those magical backfires.
All that is known, is that the spell can be targetted on weapons (normally in the inventories of enemies) to alter their structure.
Example
cast Wonker's Wicked Wobble on hairpin in aquilo

Billiards - Aqua, Cyan and Blue balls
This set is affected by the water skill. Results in each class have been confirmed, although I haven't obtained all of the possible results in any single ball (missing one of the 10-pointers and two of the 30-pointers).

Pragi’s Molten Gaze
What's it called? Pragi’s Molten Gaze (in brief, PMG)
What skills do I need? Animating, Fire, Evoking, Channeling
Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:
You toss a shimmering glass nugget into the air, where it hangs suspended in front of your eyes.
You fix the nugget with your gaze causing it to spin around on its axis.
It spins faster and faster, blurring as it returns to a molten form.
You probe the molten nugget, seeking out its chromatic essence.
You create a conduit between yourself and the nugget, urging it to release its colour.
The colour drains from the nugget and a flash of emerald green light shoots out from it and into your eyes.
Your eyes start to glow emerald green.
The clear glass nugget cools and solidifies as it drops back down.
Help Information:
Pragi's Molten Gaze - change the colour of your eyes.
Pragi's Molten Gaze is a miscellaneous spell that, when cast successfully, drains the colour of a shimmering glass nugget into the caster's eyes, causing them to glow. The nugget will regain its colour after a short amount of time.

Gone and back again!
Well, dear lads and lasses... Examinations and studying in the Roundworld have sadly taken me away from the Disc for the last month or so... What should be my surprise when upon returning, I find myself invested by the Gods as Senior Wizard of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle. I vagely remember presenting myself to an election... probably abusive bouts of alcohol at the top of the Tower of Art are to blame for all this...
Time to change a few things in the grimoire, then...

Billiards - Grey and Black balls
This set is affected by the air skill. Results in each class have been confirmed, but as yet I haven't achieved with grey the 10 pointer and the 30 pointer effect. Full parallelism with the black ball is almost certain.
1) 10-pointer: fart. "Erratic Mechanic Exoth thinks about baked beans and points his sycamore walking stick at the cue ball. / A rude sound and a jet of air with the stink of a hundred privies comes from its end and pushes the ball towards the black ball. / The two balls collide and the black ball zooms into a corner pocket"
2) 15-pointer: jet of wind ("Greybeard Nimboos the Wise produces a jet of wind from his Cheese Hammer and points it at the cue ball. / The cue ball slams into the grey ball, knocking it into a side pocket") and wings ("As you point your blackened iron staff at the cue ball it grows two tiny wings and flies straight towards the black ball. / The balls collide and the black ball rolls into a side pocket.").
3) 20-pointer: tumbleweed. "You hit the cue ball with your blackened iron staff making it roll towards the grey ball. / As the two balls collide the grey ball turns into a tumbleweed and is blown into a corner pocket by a magical wind."
4) 30-pointer: whirlwind. "You spin your blackened iron staff round and round before briefly touching it to the cue ball. / A huge whirlwind erupts beneath it, picking it up and dropping it on the black ball before dissipating. The black ball is forced into motion and rolls into a side pocket."

Von Hasselhoff's Skin Condition
What's it called? Von Hasselhoff’s Skin Condition (in short, VHSC)
What does it do? This is one of the necromancer spells. When cast on someone, it causes them a horrible skin disease that lowers their stats and gives some damage over time.
The spell doesn't cause much damage, but it can be annoying, as its effects take some time to pass. If the component (a whole human skin) didn't weigh so much, it would probably get a great deal more use than at present, when it is seldom seen except as an expedient for taskmastering some healing while on the way to other spells (like Wungles's).
Where is it? Part of the set of spells that torment the flesh and employ dead corpses as component source, it belongs to the Body Parts for the Advanced Student grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.
What does it require? A human skin, which is consumed in the process.
What skills do I need? Convoking, Healing, Charming, Binding
Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:
You prepare to cast Von Hasselhoff's Skin Condition on xxx (target)
You roll the skin up and tear several holes into it.
You take the rolled up skin and slowly twist it until it begins to break and bleed.
You utter random magical-sounding gibberish from deep within your throat.
You stroke the skin gently then point at xxx.
A wave of darkness washes over xxx and after it passes you see xxx’s skin seem to twist around her/his body, tearing painfully away from the flesh and fat underneath and leaving horrible wounds in its wake.
Help Information
Von Hasselhoff's Skin Condition - Give the target a horrible skin condition.
Like so many inventions, Von Hasslehoff's spell was a failed result of another experiment. Attempting to cure acne actually resulted in this horrific skin disease that is painful and debilitating to the target. Von Hasselhoff died famous among necromancers, but still pimply.
