I am curious.
Depends how things develop!
See, the thing about Helena is she's pretty smart and naturally talented.. but her problem is she has trouble focusing on just one thing at a time. An easy parrallel would be a university student who keeps switching degrees, getting great grades, but never finishing any.
Obviously, she is thirsty for knowledge.. but isn't quite so wise yet. Smart, but not necessarily wise (that might come with age and/or experience).
Also, being so spread out in her studies and those studies being sometimes radically different (the heavily scientific approach of the arcanist versus the spiritual approach of the conjurer is the perfect example) means she could end up forgetting important things or mixing them up and either miscasting or just not being able to do it at all.
To complicate things further she also dabbles in the more martial classes so she's like... a combat sage! o_O
