One of my favorite things my character had back in our 4e campaign was a collection of magical swords that were used entirely for their out-of-combat utility and never as actual weapons. There was one sword that could cut through anything, except it did it incredibly slowly and incredibly loudly. It got used to break things when there was no time pressure, but it also got used as kind of a flashbang to just chuck it into a room and create an awful distraction. There was one sword that had the special trait of being completely unbreakable, which generally got used to block doors. And then there was a glitched sword that my character brought with him out of someone's mind-space, which mostly just transformed the things it got stabbed into.
