A Fistful of Warlocks (SPOILERS: FISTFUL OF WARLOCKS)
Anubissama:
On the other hand, it has been what 8-10 years in-story since Luccio got body swap? (there was some odd time passage between Ghost Story-Cold Days)
She said she would be able to adjust her skills to her new body after some time. So I'm still hoping for a Warden Sword for Harry at some point.
jonas:
I took it as the adjusting was hers to do mostly. As literally different bodies, different Engines of magic are good at different things. Not that you can't train better but I think she said her new body lacked potential to do so.
Anubissama:
On the other hand, Capiorcorpus wasn't in a hurry when choosing that particular body.
So either that body has Wizard level talent, which means at some point Luccio can regain all her skills, just reskinned for the new body, or there are ways to deal with lower talented bodies if you are a Wizards soul with higher skills stuck in them.
And Luccio could discover those potentially too.

Also possible that the necromantic abilities are less specific to innate talents, I suppose. She hopped a few times in DB, but only to carefully chosen host (the prof and then the Grad student) or a known Council Wizard. By GS she was far more desperate and so presumably far less picky.

Ghost Harry seemed able to pull his usual stunts in Molly's body without trouble. She even comments on it afterwards.
So it's likely just a matter of time and adjustment. Give her about a century to hit her stride again and Luccio should be okay. (That said, Corpsetaker seemed to think that the right body made a difference, so who knows?)
