[@TheWindel] ...interesting. If you don't mind my asking, is there any particular reason this is so? I can think of a few creative ways that one could use the Golden Eyes to one's advantage beyond simply nuking anything in your path, myself.

It stems from the fact that Golden Eyes hold domain over forces of Destruction, whereas Silver Eyes have a more broad use in Creation. Golden eyes can make an explosion, but Silver eyes could make the gun. Additionally and more readily useful is that Silver eyes can be used to heal wounds as they are made for near instantaneous regeneration.

It's the diversity of use in creating tools, structures, weapons, and in healing yourself that make it superior to the pure destructive power of Golden Eyes.
