So, if you can level entire cities down without breaking a sweat, destroy targets without even knowing where they are, and conjure a ridiculously long flaming sword, you are indeed much more overpowered than the guy who can reflect practically anything except for voodoo magic (as there's nothing to reflect, really).
Um, comparing Fiamma to Accelerator... Right... Whole different class. That's not even a fair fight. I'd put him up against a Saint if he's not awakened, and a big maybe with Ollerus if he is.

Let's not forget the Magic side's history is counted by centuries and the Science side is only decades old. Sorry, but that's a very good investment.
