If your intentions were to not make Tayna seem vengeful of Demacia, then the story lacks the nitbits and flow to show that. I can see where you are heading with her, but it is a bit of a high goal, story-wise. Something I would think through more thoroughly before making any deeper lore. For now, it may be better to write a summary instead of having that detailed story, since the story is misinterpreting her intentions.

There are different interpretations of how Hextech acts in the world of Runeterra. From what I know, Hextech items are not exactly magical, but more of technology running on magical energy. This is why you don't see Hextech users such as doing anything more than shoot  instead of manipulating them as if they are something like 's. Thus, to me, the flying Runeswords have been already a stretch of what Tayna should be capable of, seeing that flying swords are magical and not something I would typically expect of typical technology. If you wanted her runeblade to go beyond this, then I wouldn't call her sword a Hextech device anymore, and moreso something else that needs much deliberation/explanation.

We all have bad ideas, and we just need to learn from them. For now, as Lesdin has pointed out, you have spread too much of the kit's power throughout with these interlaced mini-synergies with either E or the innate. Glimmerknives, now Glimmerbolt (which doesn't make sense since it's typically a projectile, not an devastated area), was only an issue as much as E: neither of them were justified in being part of what is typically Hextech.

In the end, with Tayna being categorized as a "Specialist," what is so unique about her kit that she cannot be categorized in the typical categories/roles? What is her core gameplay aspects? I ask these because there seems to be potentials for themes, but the kit is somewhat limited because of the term "Runesword," which has been explored much before and the kit for now doesn't seem to innovate it. I look forward though to what you plan on doing for improving the kit.
