Can't really speak to the arms problem but for a new horn, try paperclay instead of model magic. Paperclay takes far less time to cure to a sandable state, so if you need to do any sanding or smoothing, you can hit it as soon as it's dry. It may crack some as it dries but you can patch the cracks with more paperclay and then sand them out.

Or, you could try a bakeable clay like herpy suggested, but if you do that, I suggest making the horns hollow. Create a form out of newspaper or cardstock or something, roll the clay into flat sheets, and form it into horns over the base. You can actually bake the newspaper with the clay - the temperature is low enough it won't set the paper on fire - and then either leave it in for stability or remove it for super-light hollow horns. Though, I don't know Vriska's horn shape and size particularly - if they're small, you can make them solid no problem but it takes longer to bake. If they're more than an inch thick in any direction, though, hollow is better because it takes so long for Sculpey and Fimo to bake once it's thicker than a half an inch or so. You stand a higher chance of accidentally burning the clay than having it bake solid.

I would definitely make the horns hollow. They are big and I don't want them to be heavy! I would have a lot of fun making them out of bakeable clay but I am afraid they would break. I have considered it though.

Will definitely look into paperclay, thanks!

No prob! Paperclay's always my go-to, I feel like I can work more comfortably with it compared to Sculpey. And it's super, super lightweight, that's the best part!
