I don't get why people are so obsessed about someone using only one or both hands for magic.

Lucy summons her spirits with only one hand, Juvia casts most of her spells with one hand, Jackal most times uses only one hand to cast his curse, Natsu's sword-horn doesn't use hands and is still one of his stronger attacks, Lyon can cast all his spells with one hand and only loses a bit of stability in the process... Erza doesn't even use her hands at all to use her magic!

So why is it so impressive that Mard can use his curse with just one hand?

I find it far more impressive that Mard can just take all those attacks that completely obliterate his surroundings without even getting fazed or losing that smirk on his face.
