For example she no longer was able to make Warden Swords. She didn't forget how to make the swords, but she no longer had to the skill either to read the new warden to
match the sword or apparently to make them. Was this simply the lack of nerve pathways for the skill built up over a century or more of being a wizard or something else? In my opinion in her new body she was also more vulnerable to the manipulation of Peabody.

If the body you return to has a broken leg you can not walk. Lucio returned in a young body which made her more vulnerable in some ways and the body is not trained in other ways. She will have years to train it up and to discover what she can do with it.

But that is the point, she wasn't the same in the new body, questionable if she is even fit to be the captain of the wardens now.

Depends how you look at it. She still has a wealth of experience and fighting is not the most important skill of a captain. It is about leadership and in that respect she did quite well.

Did she? Just how good has her leadership been since her body change? It is hard to tell because for one thing she was heavily under the influence of Peabody ink.. Hard to say if the body change made it worse or not in fairness. However she got involved with a subordinate [Harry] who was under her command, not good leadership, she committed murder and her one time lover and right hand man, Morgan took the blame and ultimately died..

Peabody fooled and manipulated the whole senior council. She is not more incompetent than them. Luccio is smart and inspires loyalty, that is difficult to replace.
