"that it was a one time thing."

I see. That makes sense. I agree. But then again, similar thing happens in a lot of action shounen. You have people with various abilities but they never appear again and even when they do, it doesn't have the same flare. It is nostalgic, but not enough to get your heart racing. :( But what can you do? It is difficult to improve on so many magics, especially when a lot of them are random ones without any real depth to them. Actually I face the same problem. I want to create characters with unique abilities, but story-wise majority of them die and sometimes they die without any chance to show their full potential, a lot like the ones in DBZ and even Naruto, so I feel bad for them. Also the fact that there is a steady power gap. Regular characters can only master some fields while elites can use an arsenal. This adds strategy into play, but not enough room for expanding on one particular character's efficiency. A lot of fights in my stories are decided then and there with rarely any rematches so if a certain characters lacks skill or experience or made a mistake, then they are gone. I feel sad doing that to them, but hey, that's how true fighting is. Showing your fullest ability in face of a worthy opponent until one can no longer continue.
