@Kami_Nana It wouldn't change the fact that there doesn't seem to be any correlation between the mana cost of creating things and, for example, a traditional magic missile, which causes damage equivalent to a usual arrow from a bow, yet doesn't have a solid body (so it's not about creating matter out of energy, rather it's like a directed energy weapon). However, an arrow from a bow has insignificant amount of (kinetic) energy released on the target compared to a thermonuclear bomb, as expected. As long as an author tries to keep things reasonable, magic usually works just fine in a balanced manner, serving the story. Of course Japanese isekai authors obsolutely love utterly broken MCs with god mode level cheat skills, so it places extra demands on the story.
