Just so you know I"m still here and working on a character.  Just having a bit of trouble picking the magic.  Currently I'm still between either 
Cutting magic-magic focused around slicing, cutting things that normally can't be cut, cutting with things that normally couldn't be used for cutting, and keeping things separated that have been cut
Or 
Bandit magic-Magic with the ability to 'steel' things like physical properties, thermal energy, and siphon strength and magical energy.  (also don't worry as this one won't have the ability to steal spells or types of magic as I really hate those kinds of abilities.)  

I kind of like the Bandit magic more since it's a different, but its kind of hard to balance.
