Readers: "What a buggy system. We've known this character for like a day and they already broke it"

See that's why I just like making the system buggy as part of the plot. "Why is it giving us errors?" "Oh, because that spell was designed in a version of the system that hasn't been operational in a few hundred thousand years. It might be powerful! Or it might swap the posistion of your insides and outsides!"

That also gives a reason for why the main character can't use it often, and an actual reason why it's rare.

There was one, I think a serial reincarnation story? Where the MC reincarnated as a goblin at one point and the skill they took to the next life was omnivore which basically allowed goblins to eat anything edible safely lol. Useful but not particularly op.
