Need help with Magic Ideas

Ok so here's the thing, I'm going to remake my character since she isn't official yet so what I wanted to do is to think of a "Type" of magic that she may have.

You know I have been pondering about it for the last few hours and the only magic that would fit my character would be:

1. The type of magic that primarily doesn't do much damage, but would always forces the opponent to choose in such a way it be "If you get one benefit, you lose the other and in order to gain that benefit there must be a price for it." You can say I like to do a heavy crowd control to my opponents now that I have the gingerbread lineage. In addition to this magic, some spell effects stack to make them more dangerous. Generally made to completely overthrow mages who uses speed as an asset. Overall its supposed to be a workable magic with a fair number of weaknesses and strengths.

2. The other one is clearly one of my new personal choices. Its something that falls into like "Imagining weapon attacks or weapon strikes." You see I might just adopt Archerko from Fate Sword Dancers as my Face claim and you know one thing? She's kinda cool at what she does but she lacks the crowd control spells I like. Sure there's an arsenal but I really would like to say that despite the idea of her magic, she can be either be picked off by speedsters and crowdcontrol effects.

I'm having a god damn crisis over here so should I like combine my magic or something? I need help, admins and mods? Anyone? T____T I really wanna cry because thinking is just too hard nowadays.

Personally, I really like the first idea. I chose a magic where each spell has one effect and I'm feeling it now. ;_;

You could combine them, in a way, like imagined Weapon attacks with multiple effects?

For CC im thinking plant magic, vines to trap foes, spores to slow, even some to knock up too!(for reference see zyra of league of legends)

Perhaps you could use some kind of maker magic and give your spells a focus on CC rather than just straight up damage. I dunno, just a thought.

Or perhaps if you want to counter speed mages you could maybe go with some Chronos style time manipulation magic? maybe?

I guess, I just wanted to counter agility type people since speed is a grossing asset among characters these days.

Good idea but no, however I do like Zyra's kit.

That's why I proposed "spell stacking" which can be affected by both target and user. I wanted to like turn their speed into their greatest nightmare. I talked to a certain someone on how to deal with speedsters and I like it.
