I presume it can open doors at least. But why do you bring up Apportation?

{Edit: Ah, I see, because it's in the prerequisites. I'm not sure that's determinitive, in that there are probably (IDHMBWM) other spells in which it is clear that the pre-req ability is not included or engaged in the higher-order spell's function.

Anyway, if a Phantom can open a door, then it can pick up a knife. If it can pick up a knife, it can drop it from a height onto someone. Whether they can see the Phantom or not or believe in it or not, presumably the knife will hurt them if it hits them.}
