<Snipped quote by BCTheEntity>
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.
But what if you could destroy concepts?
