On an actual story-related note, there's something a reread has made me wonder about. I'd gotten the impression that there were four kinds of magic (runewriter magic, anyway), each tied to its own color. Green shapechangers, red life magic, purple elementals, and black mind magic.

But the reread made me realize that OH HEY THERE'S AT LEAST ONE OTHER COLOR! And it has something to do with creating impenetrable forcefields. So blue=energy magic? But referencing the fat aberrants filler, energy magic is purple. So blue magic what are you???

Of course, this is assuming each kind of magic has its own specific aberrant. But it seems like they do.

I've been working on the assumption that blue magic is all to do with time/space. Maybe with some telekinesis stuff thrown in. So, like, sorta the magic of force and momentum.

However, all of that is just rampant speculation based on a single panel. Like you, I think most of my understanding of runewriter magic is based on the fat aberrant filler.

The time idea would also make sense given that she's been in there for, apparently, years. It answers how she hasn't starved in there, if she's kind of frozen in time too.

Well, we know there are different schools of magic within each color: the greek elements for, well, elementals, and life, death, and nature for life mages. We know blue can do barriers (and if you think that means they're purely defensive casters, you've never seen Kekkaishi), so then going at it from the principles angle, the opposite of barriers (separation) would be joining, connecting, or fusing things.
