Right now I'm hording my points, because I'm really not sure where I want to go. Life 3 achieves the initial goals of my character, and I've got that.
I'm still contemplating how to use Time. (I'm currently at Time 1). I tied it into her Hinduism and the idea of reincarnation, i.e. looking into past lives and things like that. But it's a little weird to find ways to use that concept in-game.
Currently she's Life 3, Mind 2, Time 1. Her skills focus on martial arts/do and healing/taking life. So any recommendations (sphere replacements, skills, etc.) would be received gratefully and considered.
I really need to buckle down and read more of the book... |

I would read the "How do you DO that?" PDF. There's an entire chapter on Martial Arts and what to take and how to use it.

As far as Time, my main goals were having access to some prophecy ability, but even moreso, to alter time the flow of time, especially in a fight. That'll come with Time 3. So I can't speak to the more reincarnationesque aspects of it.
I could see Venisha using that, but I could also see her using Forces to put extra power into her blows, or Prime, to make them even more magically powerful.
From the HDYDT book, section on martial arts:
Forces 2 - bends the physics of a strike(more dmg) or adds elemental power. You can also use Forces 2 to make yourself more difficult to hit, similar to Time 1. You could also deflect projectiles.
Prime - there's apparently stuff you can do to focus chi, but it takes 2 points in prime.
The section on martial arts is pretty short, borrow my tablet tonight and take a read through for some ideas.

Time 2 lets you look back in time (useful for mystery solving) and ahead (VERY useful for a martial artist...perfect the God Block!). It's also only 7 points to go from 1 to 2.
I believe you have the Past Lives background. Consider raising that; it's essentially the ability to gain a skill you don't have by finding the appropriate past life that had it.

Just emailed the martial arts section to you, so you can read at your leisure. The suggestion re raising past lives makes sense.
