No, we want the opposite. We want Rufus to create "weak" spells with no hype. Cause that would make his defeat much more sensible. Here he was clearly overhyped not to mention given the most OP ability but was still defeated due to power of feelings. Never in a billion years would someone with the power of making imagination reality lose to a man with ice. Sadly his comrades will receive similar treatment in the upcoming battles.

The problem is that this fight was meant for thrills. Thrill that an FT member beat a top dog with his own effort and what-not when he clearly had no chance. A typical shounen concept and one that non-Jap fans despise after seeing it a certain number of times.
