elmago79:
Here's Michael swinging his sword, for Weapons, (Grave Peril, Ch. 5):
Michael shouted, and swept Amoracchius at the spirit. The great blade bit into her back with a wooden-sounding thunk and made her arch up, screaming in pain. It was a deathblow.
Karevala:
Here are some more. I think these are new, but I didn't check this time to see if they've been posted already.
FYI: For convenience, I have stripped out most of the books' formatting by running the text together and ignoring paragraph boundaries.
I love this image of Murphy that Harry sees when he looks at her through his Sight!
Presence
The door burst open. Murphy came through it, her eyes living flames of azure blue, her hair a golden coronet around her. She held a blazing sword in her hand and she shone so bright and beautiful and terrifying in her anger that it was hard to see.
(Grave Peril, chap 13, page 105)
If you want more of the quote, it continues:
The Sight, I realized dimly. I was seeing her for who she was.
Here are two about the Archive.
Presence
I extended my senses gingerly toward her. The air around her fairly hummed with power, different from what I would expect from another wizard, but strong all the same, a quiet and dangerous buzz like that around high-tension power lines.
(Death Masks, chap 10, page 108)
Presence
The girl had power. She had a hell of a lot of power. ...text omitted... She regarded me with implacable blue eyes I suddenly did not want to take the chance of looking into.
(Death Masks, chap 10, page 109)
Empathy
I looked in Susan's eyes and saw hope there for just a moment. (Death Masks, chap 14, page 145)
Empathy
The insult relieved me a little. If he was able to be a wiseass he'd probably be OK. (Death Masks, chap 9, page 103)
Empathy This could also work for Investigation.
I stared at him for a minute and got a hunch, a solid intuition of which I was completely sure. Denton was hiding something. He knew something and wasn't talking. Don't ask me how I knew it, but something about him, about the way the veins bulged in his forehead, or the way he held his neck so stiffly, made me think so.
(Fool Moon, chap 2, page 22)
Investigation
"I snuck downstairs so I could listen to Dad tell Mom what had happened. " ...text omitted...
"Do you eavesdrop on every private conversation you can?" ...text omitted...
"No one says anything interesting in a public conversation, do they?"
(Death Masks, chap 15, page 156)
Investigation (The last sentence could be cut; it would fit into Alertness.)
I kept my head down, my hands in my pockets, and walked toward the harbor. I didn't rubberneck around, but I tried to look at everything while moving only my eyes.
I didn't see anyone but I couldn't shake the impression that I was being observed.
(Death Masks, chap 12, page 121)
Might
Michael picked me up as though I weighed no more than one of children. (Grave Peril, chap 31, page 287)
Stealth or Burglary It would work for either.
I put my hands on the grate and pushed it as gently as I could. It slid soundlessly from the wall and I set it one side. ...text omitted...
I needed only a few seconds to creep out, and nip the Shroud and get back into the vents. ...text omitted...
I slipped out of the vents, thinking silent thoughts. A long stretch put my fingertips on the tube's carrying strap.
(Death Masks, chap 19, page 211)
That's it for the moment.
KreenWarrior:
Don't think this has been done before...

*Perfect*!
I love the other stuff that's come in so far. Keep on truckin', folks, this is awesome.
Karevala:
A few more...
Weapons
Michael stepped over me and Sanya, Amoracchius in hand, and shouted as he lunged forward, both hands driving the weight of the sword at the closed steel door. The sword went through the door, sinking almost to the hilt. [text omitted]
Michael drew the sword back out of the door. Blood gleamed wet and scarlet along the length of the weapon's blade.
(Death Masks, chap 31, page 332)
Here are a couple with Harry using his staff in a non-magical capacity.
Weapons (maybe Fists as well?)
Just as I got to chapel's door, it swung open and two men come out, both of them snapping clips into submachine guns. One of them didn't look up in time to see me, so I checked him in the forehead with a double-handed thrust of my staff, getting my whole weight behind the blow. His head snapped back and he dropped.
(Death Masks, chap 31, page 333)
Weapons
The other gunman started to bring his weapon up, but I batted the weapon away with a sweep of my staff, then snapped the end of it hard against his nose.
(Death Masks, chap 31, page 333)
