I disagree with separating our gem from our body by any great distance. (more than a few centimeters) In addition to possible loss of coordination, there's also the matter that being a static target makes it easier for someone to avoid and the fact that there's a line of magic connecting the gem to us, which could be visible to someone with good senses. (and also likely severable to someone with the right skillset. I don't think that someone is Yuki, but until we have countermeasures to being gemmed it strikes me as a risky habit to get into.)Wrap ourselves up in a sphere of grief for armor, scatter around a few shells that're externally identical but actually just hollow decoys. Pull the utility fog in to 80m or so so the center of the fog doesn't give away which sphere is the right one. Put our body in a different sphere than our soul gem to see if we can give her a nasty surprise at some point?
There's also the thing that leaps out to me, that a even with "low intensity" lot of this stuff is still basically just abusing raw power and there's a lot of other things that can be done too: Playing to psychology and expectations instead, for instance.
Sound (footsteps, ambient noise) would probably be better suited to a girl without a really strong magic sense, but even like this it can still be put to raise the expectation of an attack.
Likewise, a growing sense of witchiness probably can be associated with an attack charging, and can be used to draw focus away from an attack from a completely different direction. Especially if there are times where active witchiness actually is an attack. (and not just physically either, a strong magnetic charge could serve useful if there's an appropriate metal it can be used on)
