I had a level 13 fighter/cleric. As many times I used the turn undead button I never saw any results of it working. I would hear a musical tone but the skeletons just kept on coming. Maybe I was doing something wrong in the way I used it. I would hit the button as the party was being attacked. I never once saw them turn away.

Perhaps this is worth testing, because it may not be in the game, but I've got the 2nd Edition player's handbook here and it says that "Chill Touch has a special effect on undead creatures. Undead touched by the caster suffer no damage or strength loss, but they must successfully save vs. spell or flee for 1d4 rounds + 1 per level of the caster."

So it basically turns them.

As for level one spells that aren't magic missile (great spell, but so stereotypical of mages hehe), Burning Hands with its +1 per character level (20 limit), and Shocking Grasp with its 1d8 +2 damage per level (no limit!) have some impressive damage. With burning hands of course you don't have to touch them.
