Doesn't have to be too involved, but destructible objects have been done
before.

Hell, spells in game already pick up and move items including dead
bodies.

That's what makes it so odd, a can hurl a spell and toss a friggen 200lb
body 100 feet or more away, (or in other areas light the floor on fire),
but I can't break through a wooden door?
Ice storm has in fact tossed bodies a huge amount of distance away at
times, sometimes around several corners - I've had trouble finding some
bodies after fights on hills since the body can end up several hundred
feet from the fight site.


Metal doors being impervious, sure not problem, but wood can be chopped
through and can be burned - and hell they have chopping and mining
animations, why not a door chopping animation?  
They don't have to show it splintering any more than they show rock
chipping away when you swing the pickaxe at an ore vein.
You start, animation plays, door replaced with chopped door that is now
usable.

Come to think of it they do something sort of similar on one quest
already where you have to clear a door of ice using a fire spell and a
fire warded door with ice, so chopping through a barred wooden door is
not much of a stretch.
