I kind of want to make an RP.
But it sounds hard.

If you're writing a book, yes.
In an RP? It can be good to have those kinds of things defined, but you don't have to.
Important thing to remember is that a person's investment in an RP is usually proportional to the amount of creation they've done for it. So if you don't leave room for player creativity, it will be harder to grab people's attention.

I don't know. I might just try to develop one city or area or so, but that's still hard.
Would it be better to let the players choose the magic? I feel like the only problem with that might be one of balancing.

Worldbuilding's a lot easier with someone to bounce ideas off of (if more fraught with potential conflicts).
There are a lot of ways to deal with balancing. Probably the simplest is just asking "don't be too OP" and working with people to keep within the limits you have in mind.
As a side note, I've been thinking of trying out a new style where the players have more or less complete control over their characters, but not the world. I don't know if that would fit well with what you have in mind, but it is something I would be invested in.
