We broke the Anima system in half with overpowered characters. Not that it holds together very well normally. One mage character boosting the tank's strength high enough to lift a mountain and creating him a giant tungsten lump, another mage opening a portal directly above a bad guy's tower, apply tungsten to tower at great speed. No more tower. The GM was too amused to be mad that we wrecked his whole plan. We used the same trick to launch a necronomicon into the sun (or near enough). Also so many magically created artefacts, creation mages are just bullshit. But I got away with it because I made some for everyone.

Wow, all this wonderful discussion off a silly meme, it warms my heart. Happy gaming everyone, just remember as long as everyone is having fun (GMs too) you're doing it right.

I'm working on a Tome of Forbidden Spells just to see what my players will do with weird magic

I was thinking more jokey. Not necessarily creepy, just weird. My plan was to make rules for all the weird meme spells like Greater Baja Blast

I suspend the tarrasque between dimensions to incapacitate it and prepare to create a post-scarcity society based off its infinitely replenishing flesh, blood and bones.

Dragon Ball Z mechanics.

The coolest magical items don't "break the scaling" anyway, because they do cool weird stuff, rather than just giving you spells or numbers.
