I won't go into any imbalance issues but to answer your question and make the VQ effective requires low level path magic to give her access to combat magic. This is true of many SC pretenders, not just the VQ. The advantage of the VQ (whether she is balanced or not) is her immortality plus the fact that she doesn't really need items at all to be effective (until the late game), she has numerous traits, built in, that you would normally use equipment for (ethereal, flying, regen).

You can build her a lot of different ways but one example would be 2 air, 1 water, 2 earth, scripting her to quickness/mistform/mirror image/Summon earth power/invulnerability (or ironskin for earlier game). Or 2 air, 2 water, 1 earth and swap in breath of winter and ironskin for invulnerability.

You can do a lot of other things with her, like giving her fire for phoenix pyre or more death for soul vortex or what not but the above should be a good start for you to play around with, I think.
