My PCs are upper class twits who are all members of an exclusive nobles-only club: the Aristocracy Mephits of Korvosa. Their arch-rivals, the Korvosa Young Monarchists (or "Kimmies") will occasionally play pranks on them. They've done some mundane pranks (eg disguising themselves as hobos and hanging out at the Mephit clubhouse, attracting birds to eat a lot then fly over the Mephits repeatedly, hosting a bit party the same night the Mephits were hoping to hold one, etc) but I'd like to give this a D&D twist.
What's a magical way the Kimmies could put "kick me" on the back of every Mephit? What would be a way to coerce an imp into taking up residence in the clubhouse? Is there a way to fill an entire room with whipped cream? Two Mephits have birthdays this coming weekend, and this seems like a perfect pranking opportunity. Also, we're between Edge of Anarchy and Seven Days to the Grave and I'd like to slip in some brevity.
The Mephits have recently encountered an ethereal filcher, which I suspect will play heavily into whichever methed they use for retaliation.
Suggestions?

Mage hands and unseen servants for the Kick me signs. Have someone with forgery to sign a contract with the imp granting it a full share of the mephits' gains and grant it leave to roost in the club house. Contracts are the bread and butter of imps.
As for the whip cream... Major Creation comes to mind. If your players' rivals have money to burn then these items can be obtained or hired out for.
Arcane mark is always good for "kick me". :)
And there's loads of evil things you can do with prestidigitation.
I second Presti'!
"Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for
practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform
simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have
severe limitations. A prestidigitation can slowly lift 1 pound of
material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each
round. It can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material.
It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters.
Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude
and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are
extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell
components. Finally, a prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate
any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just
moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour."
Ah, the possibilities: "Colour, clean or soil items at 1 one cubic foot each round." Have a couple of casters with that one and you can turn their clubhouse into the Pink Princesses' Party Place.
"Chill, warm, or flavour 1 poiund of nonliving material." Cold foot, hot drink, sugared pastries that taste like salt meat (and that's being nice...)
"Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude
and artificial" Table decoration! 'your candles have a... curious shape. What is that? Oh my god! My sister has fainted!'
