I think Liadan hit the nail on the head, there, if you want to play the class IC.  Personally, I only level up the melee classes for the ability to mix and match my gear.  IC, my character is strictly a spell-caster.

If you plan to RP out the classes that you level, though, I think what you have is sufficient to keep from entering the Mary Sue complex.  She's not immediately good at it, she doesn't whip it out and auto-win, nothing like that.  The way you currently have also allows for many luls to be had when she tries to cast spells, and the occasionally lucky "... I did that?  Surprise" moment.
