The trick is to not limit yourself with magic but to let your powers and abilities add colour and flavour to the RP, rather than being the RP.
Why teleport when you can walk?
Why kill the enemy in a single blast when you can have some RP?
Why fix the problem in a snap when there is a game afoot?
Also I tend to play Nebbs with simple magic, like cantrips, and rely on their creative use rather than spell power. Entangling grass, swarm of bees, flying crockery etc.. Also charms to keep vermin from your corn that need renewing each week (nice little earner) and that sort of thing. Though if pushed she does flip out and her intent becomes catastrophic, which does not mean what happens it is just her attitude, and that is how she burnt down a house.
But always think, what is the least I could do with magic and how best could I do that. And failure is often better than success for RP
If you must have ultimate power, be Gandalph and Yoda ... just act enigmatic and let the others solve the problems, after all they have to learn and you don't want to show your hand. Though playing such a character and giving it that gravitas and not acting is a tricky thing to pull off.
Anzu is a very capable fighter (think Samuri/Ninja) but plays the role of odd job man, he smiles at the Ninja's that clearly are what they want to keep hidden while he himself appears helpless or just fixing a broken fence.
