I think Mike want's stuff a bit farther out there. What about this?
Magic Fingers can manipulate what the user can see, yes? (Basically Speaking
here) Things have to be tangible, more or less, yes?
Change the definition of "tangible" or "sight" just a bit. Use the
Thesaurian View (same word, two or more meanings). Magician performs a Quest
of True Aura on an object instead of a magician. Gets a really detailed view
of somethings "astral signature". Uses Magic Fingers against that signature
directly. Direct Manipulation of Matter at a different scale? How about the
"welding" of objects together without the use of a flame/torch and without
leaving the normal seems. What about using a Detection spell to help the
user see flaws in the structure of something so as to be able to correct the
flaws early on.
