I would like to see some version of the level 5 arcane spell telekinesis added to the game that would allow caster to do things like open doors and throw levers or switches from a distance.

What? You want telekinesis to be useful? Unfortunately this would let casters bypass situations and puzzles in quests that have been put in place in a world without working telekinesis. I agree it would be cool, but many quests would need to be re-vamped to prevent people from bypassing large portions of the quests.
Maybe rather than throwing switches, a good use for the telekinesis spell would be to move mobs. Though, with the speed of combat, it would require a LOT of practice to master.
Why not make a whole new Arcane PrE entitled Scion of Bigby? Too Greyhawky? ;)
Bigby's Flicking Finger!
Bigby's Expressive Middle Digit!
Telekinesis in the game is used by some (beholders, abbot) to fling us around. I would thoroughly enjoy a spell that comes in two versions: pull and push.
Edit: Probably exploitable as hell though, just like Gust of Wind was in PnP. "Hey look, a cliff!"
