Neither of these takes into account the facts that Cedra doesn't know if she can dual cast spells yet(I'm not opposed to trying, but I felt inclined to point it out anyway), That Cedra isn't sure she can even hit the Anzus from this distance, or that part where the Anzus use crowd control effects o keep their target on the ground as a standard part of their pack hunting.
How do you plan to do that?
Not really a guarantee at all actually. It could also make us lighter (birds have very light skeletal structures), allow us to use our fingers/nails as claws, make reading the flow of wind easier, enhance our internal compass, or just making wind based magic a bit easier to understand.
Water (H2O) is Two Hydrogen atoms and One Oxygen atom.
That is not how that works. Control of gases does not mean control of water, except in the form of water vapor. Water is not made from air. Air is a mixture of gases - 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen - with traces of water vapor, carbon dioxide, argon, and various other components. Snuffing out fire is viable. (See last paragraph for suffocation). Manipulating projectiles is viable.
Remember that the spring seemed to have a magical effect as well, in that it appeared to be unnaturally inviting and made us want to drink(this may just be a misinterpretation, but it seemed like it to me).
That sounds like it would take a long time.
Suffocation is not instant, and removing air for any extended period would require a large amount of effort and energy, due to pressure from forcing the air up its concentration gradient and creating a null space where gases would naturally diffuse into and occupy (forcing the air out and keeping it out requires a lot of energy). Also, the target is not likely to sit in an area where they can't breath, and the larger the null space is the harder it becomes to maintain. Moving this area to match the target's movements would not be much easier.
