I have no solid basis for this theory, but -- perhaps she was already magically inclined. If she had past experience in sorcery (or had magical ancestry), the addition of the Shadow Lord's powers could have amplified what magical ability she previously had. Maybe before she gained the Shadow Lord's powers she was someone like Tamm, a human sorceress who dabbled in self-taught magic independently of an outside source. If that were the case -- if she turned to sorcery when she ran away to the mountains and then she was discovered by the Shadow Lord and gained powers from it-- that could explain her heightened abilities.
