There was a manga that actually played on this.
The MC got the power of telekinesis, limited to the approximate mass of a baseball. Seems weak, right?
He slowly realized that "mass" was indeed the only limit.
Use a handful of sand as a shredder, shoot items like a railgun, etc. Basically, number and speed were unlimited as long as you keep the total mass within bounds.
So yes, once you're given something with no limit, or absurdly high limits, it has to be infinitely lame to be useless...
This case is a perfect illustration: the MC can now "appraise" something as abstract as "an attack", with built-in precognition. It's getting ridiculous and it's only the first time he tries to fight with appraisal. They won't even need to push it too far to make it an offensive ability too.
There is a manga where the MC has the ability to see lines and spots that represent the weak spots of anything. Anything. Like an immortal vampire's "death spots", a magic spell "break lines"... or the sky's. Then he can just cut along the lines or stab the spots and the thing break without resistance.
This could be transposed here into this absurd version of "appraisal". Just "appraise the enemy for weak spots" or something like this...
At this stage, nothing will surprise me. I'm pretty sure the character can now do nearly anything as long as he finds a creative way to say it's an appraisal.
