yeah it really is the safest choice they could've made but it also means she is effectively done as a character. But I can also understand why they didnt make her a scion, we already have so many of them that do nothing along with the b-team which are out there that could potentially do something so I imagine they just didn't want to add another character that won't have much to do, since what could they really do with Sphene other than having her as the character they explain how the world works to which we are that person.
alas Sphene it was nice knowing you.
