The phantom of Eilinel by which Gorlim was ensnared, Finrod changing his companions and himself to look like Elves, and his duel with Sauron. Perhaps also Melian telling Luthien where Beren is in the early versions. But yes, you are correct - there is no other tale in which the magic is so flamboyant (as Curious would say), not even the Tom Bombadil episodes. Luthien is able to (among other magical deeds on that quest...) magically grow her hair to create a rope to escape her elevated for-her-own-good prison in the forest of Doriath, transforming herself & Beren into the shapes of a wolf and bat... the sleep spells she casts more than once (one of which was successfully aimed at Morgoth Bauglir himself in his throne room), and the healing of Beren after bow-shot & involuntary-hand-removal by way of Carcharoth. And welcome to TORn!
