That's not quite the point.

You see, although in a story you can make things with remarkably high potential, when in a Roleplay, others may not use it as intentioned. You yourself mentioned usage of it to destroy an entire naval fleet singlehandedly. When I mentioned flaming crossbow bolts in an earlier post, I also noted that they would be incapable of lighting a wooden object. You have to be careful about what you invent, as if you make your weapons too effective, the RP starts to revolve around them, and therefore their inventor. And when a single player has complete control over the entire story, its not as fun anymore.
