Because I hate fun, I assume that the people in a fantasy world aren’t all fools so if there’s an application of magic that seems obvious but isn’t already happening in the setting, there’s a good reason for that.
There’s also the rule of “if you can do it, so can NPCs”. Even if your character has thought of something no one in the universe has thought of before, word will get around.
Sounds as if you play as most unimaginative character that does everything in a dullest way possible. What’s the point of playing tabletop then?
I mean half of the fun of tabletop rpgs is exploring the possibilities and creativity (for me).

I have it as: “cool idea, i’ll let you get away with it once. Start abusing it and all the NPCs start using it.” works pretty good.

The vibe I like is “gritty action movie”. Some people prefer something zanier.
