With a touch, you cause the victim of this spell to suffer a painful curse that causes it to grow hideously disfigured. The physical appearance of the deformity is subject to the caster’s whim (most demon worshipers choose deformities that reflect their Abyssal patron’s shape or form). The target takes one of the following penalties.
–2 decrease to an ability score (minimum 1).
–2 penalty on attack rolls or saving throws.
Land speed reduced by 5 feet.
You may also invent other effects, but they should be no more powerful than those described above.
Now my question, could anyone suggest some other effects of similar power as the ones mentioned above?
Would giving my enemy -4 to saves vs one spell school (ie. Conjuration) be of equal power?

I would say giving -4 to saves vs one school would not be of equal power considering you're going to base it off whatever you're casting next. It lasts 1 day per level. I would say -4 to saves vs spells from one school for one round would be about as powerful but it's really in the spirit of the spell.
Spell descriptors is something else though, but you'd have to be creatively descriptive. Like giving them giant ears to me more susceptible to fortitude saves on sonic descriptor spells, that might be worth a -4
you could do tons of mundane things. you could make peoples butts grow so they get stuck in their saddle or their waist shrink so their pants fall down and entangle them. make some party members see blue as red and red as blue if they're teasing you about how your stink cloud spell is just your dirty farts.
You could make peoples hand swell up so they couldn't hold their weapon. You could make someone really ugly so that they have a hard time talking to people. you could make peoples feet shrink only slightly then start a cobbling business where you sell people too small shoes and they think their feet have just grown and they buy more shoes
you could make your own face all messed up when you're doing naughty burglary type things so later no one can identify you. you could make your own arms seem very small and try to win arm wrestles with your deceptive strength.
