It sounds like I might need to abandon the idea that her magical experiments were at all related to Arcanism. It's quite possible that sigil-based magic exists as a separate art in Othard, and she might have had a bit of informal training in that. I'm starting to lean toward the idea that her mathematical skill is intuitive anyway, such that she's likely to give her instructors a headache once she does start training at the Arcanist Guild. She'd be rather like a savant who can come up with a correct answer to a mathematical problem without necessarily being able to show their work, which can be impressive, but might become a stumbling block to more advanced learning.
