Do you have something like a Minor Telekinesis spell? Doesn’t have to be strong. Something that would turn a latch on a deadbolt is fine.
Do you have a good understanding of anatomy (worth learning, if only for this reason).
Has this universe already established any reason you can’t cast a spell INSIDE of a person or creature? No? Then combat is about to get very easy for you!
Telekinetically pinch the carotid artery (the one feeding blood directly to the brain) closed.
(Troll crashes to the ground in a dead faint.)
You can let go the artery now.
If you’re fighting an opponent you’re comfortable making dead, there’s many other options and applications.
