It'll be a hindrance primarily. She's going to suffer from phantom pains, potentially at the worst possible moments. As someone mentioned above, you also need to fuel magitek, so it may also from time to time run out. Don't worry. I intend to keep it balanced, buddy. :D
I've seen multiple blind characters who just happen to be able to see via magitek or characters who just happen to have a super strong replacement limb. I must admit that it rubs me the wrong way as I firmly believe that such themes should be explored tastefully and not just embraced so that someone can pass off their character as being 'cooler' through very cheap means.
So with that in mind? I'd strongly suggest remembering that they're drawbacks rather than perks. I have a lot of respect for those role-players out there who keep that in mind.
